Analytics Engineering

Engineer scalable data models that drive real business decisions.

Analytics Engineers bridge data engineering and business impact. You work closely with Data Engineers and BI professionals to design scalable data models and enable reliable, data-driven decision-making across the organization.

You take ownership of data modeling, building trusted datasets and powering dashboards that drive real business outcomes. By transforming raw data into structured, well-modeled data products, you ensure consistency, quality and usability. To achieve this, you design and maintain automated pipelines that make high-quality data continuously available for reporting and analysis.

Technical alignment phase

Every Analytics Engineer starts with a focused two-week engineering alignment phase. This intensive period strengthens advanced SQL, scalable data modeling, and building reliable data pipelines that enable trustworthy, business-ready insights. You deepen your understanding of data quality frameworks, testing practices and modern analytics engineering standards.

Rather than classroom-style learning, you work hands-on through realistic engineering challenges and production-like scenarios. Our Analytics Engineering Lead tailors the approach to your background to ensure a strong and consistent technical baseline before stepping into complex, real-world data environments.

The first 12-months

After the alignment phase, you join one of our partner organizations four days a week, embedded in a real data team. On the fifth day, you return to Xccelerated in Amsterdam for advanced deep-dives, architecture discussions and technical sparring. These sessions focus directly on the challenges within your client project, while deepening your expertise in modern data warehouse architectures, advanced modeling frameworks and scalable data processing practices. At the end of the year, you transition into a permanent role at the partner organization.
