BI Engineer

At BlueLabs we are building a next-generation sports betting platform focused on performance, reliability, modularity and automation. After a period of experimentation, we are now excited to see our technology powering the launch of BetFox, a new B2C operator in Ghana.

To ensure the continuous enhancement of our platform while scaling up operations and entering additional African countries, we are now looking to grow our team. As a result, our Data Team is on the lookout for a versatile Data Analyst. With our Data Platform still in its early stages, you'll have an opportunity to make a huge impact, work on a variety of interesting data-related challenges and help us shape the future of our platform.

The Team

The mission of Data Team is to provide an ecosystem where data is transmitted, stored, processed, served, and analyzed in a fast, clean, reliable, and secure way. As a team, we have the expertise to drive data-related initiatives and make an impact in various parts of the organization.

Our goal is to provide a cutting-edge Data Platform which can be leveraged to build pipelines, explore data, discover insights, build predictive models, and collaborate with other teams on enhancing services. We strive for innovation and promote data-driven solutions which, we believe, will make our products more compelling and give us a competitive advantage on the market. We're currently building a strong foundation for our platform - well-modelled Data Lake/Warehouse, real-time data ingestion pipelines with scalability in mind, sophisticated observability, and more. This provides the base for Business Intelligence initiatives and Machine Learning/Data Science in the future.

As a BI Engineer in our team, you'll be responsible for communicating requirements with the stakeholders and implementing solutions that make relevant information easily accessible to the business users. Success in this role will require a good understanding of the sports betting domain, an ability to work with complex data models, transformations (eg. DBT), BI tools (eg. Looker), as well as proficiency in SQL and scripting languages (eg. Python). You'll have an opportunity to combine a variety of interesting data sets to conduct analysis and provide useful insights to the business. Since we're only in the early stages with Analytics, you'll be able to make a big impact and influence the design of our Data-related products.

A good candidate should have high standards for himself, a desire to build high-quality, well-tested, production-ready solutions in a fast-paced environment. We're looking for a proactive individual, who's an excellent communicator, detail-oriented, organized and loves to keep his/her work well documented.

If all of this sounds scary, don't worry - you won't be alone in this. We value teamwork, trust, communication and a healthy working environment, so you can always count on the team for help.

About You

• Product-oriented mindset and eagerness to take part in shaping the products we build.

Remote Work

We are hiring for talent, not for a specific location. You will find that members of our team are distributed all over Europe. Being a distributed team enables us to hire only the best, without being restricted to the talent pool available at a specific geographic location. However, to facilitate team communication and collaboration we currently require you to be located in Europe. You must also be able to travel to other European locations a few times a year for on-site meetings and workshops.

Compensation

The budgeted compensation range for this role is ?58,000 to ?76,000 annually, depending on your background and experience. As an independent contractor, you will be responsible for paying any taxes or applicable fees in your country of residence. In addition to that, we offer a number of perks to each of our team members as we truly believe in a healthy work-life balance and continuous learning.
