Lead Analytics Engineer (Grade 7), Data Directorate, Ministry of Justice

Hello!

Welcome to the Data & Analysis directorate at the Ministry of Justice and thank you for taking an interest in this role. We’re looking for 3 Lead Analytics Engineers to join our growing team. The successful candidates will join the Data Modelling and Engineering Team (DMET), although we also work closely with the Data Platform team. A summary of the type of work the teams are involved in can be found in our handbook. We're also hosting a webinar on Monday 2nd September 2024 from 18:00 to 19:00 for anyone interested in learning more about the team and the roles we’re currently recruiting. You can sign up via this link.

This is a great opportunity to work with leading cloud technology and help change the way data is used in the public sector. Analytics engineers at MoJ play a critical role in our mission to put data at the heart of decision-making. We're looking for people with the drive to develop a deep understanding of data needs and data availability across specific areas of the Ministry of Justice. You will work in a team of Analytics Engineers, alongside Data Engineers, to bridge the gap between data producers and data users, developing analytical pipelines and self-service tools to acquire and transform data, making it available on our Analytical Platform.

As a Lead Analytics Engineer, your work might involve:

gathering requirements and translating these into clear deliverables

leading a small team of analytics engineers to deliver derived data tables using dbt

working with data engineers to develop and deploy automated data pipelines

turning needs and opportunities into flexible, quality-assured, dimensional models for use by analysts and data scientists and ensuring dimensions are conformed wherever possible

ensuring content is complete and accurate, and producing summary outputs to demonstrate this completeness and accuracy

providing tools to collect, store and present metadata and documentation that enable people to use data intelligently

setting direction across multiple data domains and being the key point of contact for users

championing these tables as a single version of truth among analysts and data scientists

identifying and resolving data quality / data governance issues

About you

We welcome applications from anyone with the skills we consider to make a good analytics engineer. You may not currently be in an analytics engineering role and that's ok. Many of our team have a background in analysis, data science, software engineering, and much more.

Below, we list a number of skills we are looking for in candidates. If you don't have experience with all of these then that's all right, we get it, it's a long list! We encourage you to still apply and give us the chance to consider your application. A key attribute we're interested in is the willingness and ability to learn; learning and development is something we value and prioritise within our community.

There are some tips toward the end of this advert about how to apply - we strongly recommend you read these, especially if you're new to applying for roles in the Civil Service.

We are looking for people with experience in the following:

SQL

building data and analytical pipelines

working with large relational databases

Python, R or any other programming languages

testing and quality assuring data

supporting others to learn and implement new tools and technologies

It's a bonus if you also have experience of:

dimensional modelling including designing and populating star schemas

working with business intelligence tools

working to improve data quality

working with document-oriented data storage formats such as JSON, XML

mapping processes to support data and service improvement

developing content to support data science / machine learning pipelines

working with data and analytics services in the cloud

workflow orchestration tools, such as Airflow

big data tools, such as Spark and Presto

version control tools, such as git

building automated testing and deployment workflows

working in an agile environment

We make our workplace as inclusive as we can. Find out more about how we support equality and diversity.
