Staff Analytics Engineer - Cyber Data Platform

As the Staff Analytics Engineer on the Cyber Analytics team, you will be key in designing, developing, and deploying a scalable data lake and data warehouse solutions and data models that empowers our security users to draw insights and develop reporting capabilities, advanced analytics, machine learning, and GenAI solutions to enhance our security defences. You will lead data modelling and architectural decisions, guide technical direction, and mentor the analytics engineering team to deliver high quality data products.

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
