Senior Analytics Engineer, Finance - Airalo

Help Us Build The Future of Travel

At Airalo, we're making it easier for people to stay connected wherever they travel. As the world's first eSIM store, we help millions of travelers access affordable mobile data in 200+ countries and regions around the world.

Today, we're a team of 400+ people across 60+ countries, building a product used by travelers every day. We've grown quickly, but we've worked hard to keep what matters: trust, ownership, and the freedom for people to do great work without unnecessary layers or bureaucracy.

We're fully remote by design, genuinely global, and united by a shared mission to make travel simpler for everyone.

Role Overview

• Location: Remote, anywhere in Spain or the UK (open across supported locations in Europe).
• Contract:
  • Spain: Full-time, permanent contrato indefinido via Deel
  • UK: Full-time, permanent
• Languages: English is our main working language day to day, so you'll need to be comfortable communicating both in meetings and asynchronously.

We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to help shape how data is modeled and governed at Airalo, transforming first- and third-party data into clean, trusted, well-documented datasets that power decisions across product, marketing, finance, and commercial teams, serving 30+ million users and growing. This role carries particular weight in our finance and revenue domain: you’ll steward the models finance relies on directly, including order-to-revenue flows and reconciliation against third-party systems such as our ERP, where precision and auditability matter as much as scalability.

Our analytics engineering function is still maturing, so you’ll have real ownership in establishing standards, defining our semantic layer, and shaping how data is structured as we scale globally, working closely with the rest of the data team to build a production-grade analytics platform on Lightdash and beyond.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain data models using dbt within our cloud data warehouse, ensuring performance, cost efficiency, and alignment with business logic.
• Build and maintain finance and revenue data models, including order-to-revenue flows, recognition logic, and reconciliation against source-of-truth financial systems, that finance and commercial teams can rely on for reporting and forecasting.
• Own the order-to-revenue pipeline: ensure every order correctly and traceably resolves into recognized revenue, with clear handling of refunds, adjustments, currency conversion, and edge cases.
• Collaborate with other analytics engineers and data engineers to build and scale ELT workflows that ensure data freshness and reliability for mission-critical reporting.
• Partner with Finance and the ERP systems integrator to validate that data models and definitions carry over correctly from legacy systems into the new ERP/EPM platform.
• Implement robust testing, documentation, and monitoring practices, acting as a steward of data quality and governance across the platform, with high attention to detail in domains where small errors compound.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate complex business questions into scalable, production-ready data artifacts.
• Partner with data analysts and domain leadership to drive rollout and adoption of self-service analytics, ensuring business users can trust and independently explore data models.
• Contribute to the evolution of our modern data stack, bringing curiosity and pragmatic judgment to new tools and approaches.

Must Haves

• Bachelor's/Master's degree in a quantitative field (statistics, economics, mathematics, computer science, or equivalent work experience).
• 5+ years in analytics engineering, data engineering, or analytics roles with significant modeling responsibilities.
