About Us
Laneway Analytics is an innovative analytics software company whose solutions have been developed in partnership with leading financial services companies.
We think about data and analytics differently. We help regular business users understand their data, how their data is changing, and to get the most value out of their data.
Our mission is to partner with organisations to accelerate their journey towards a culture of data-led decision-making for the future.
What makes us different
Our senior team has a track record of successfully starting and growing companies in the Analytics space. Our expertise, network, and culture are driving our young company forward into this phase of growth.
Our co-founder sold his previous analytics firm to Deloitte and counted some of the largest multinationals amongst his clients.
To innovate we must have a diversity of thought. And that requires a diversity of experience, skills, and thinking. Our team includes data engineers, data scientists, computer scientists, commercial finance, and actuarial analysts.
Our team blends commercial and technology skillsets. We aren’t clever techies guessing at cool problems to solve, we are solving the toughest problems we encountered in our commercial roles.
You will work in a team-driven culture, the best idea wins. We surround our team with interesting challenges, innovative minds, and emerging technologies. We have a passion for building solutions and creative products to solve the most complex and interesting business problems.
We are rapidly gaining traction within our niche, the $3.0T superannuation industry. And we are now expanding into new industries. Our customers are amazing advocates for our work.
We are lean and agile; no committees or bureaucracy to get in the way of rapidly innovating and differentiating our solutions to market incumbents. We embrace creativity, not stifle it. As a result, we are outcompeting global software and services firms with our innovative solutions.
We work smarter, not harder. We get stuff done. We work as a team. We are learning each day.
What we’re looking for
We are seeking a senior member of our data engineering team with 3 – 5 years relevant experience. As an Analytics Solution Engineer, you will work together with a great team to deliver the next generation of data and analytics platforms.
You will design and build reliable and highly scalable modern data platforms including the use of data lakes and data warehouses across a range of technologies hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
You will work with databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, PostgreSQL, and languages like T-SQL, Python, and Pyspark.
You will be working with very large datasets, designing ETL processes that can cater to real-time environments.
Your technology expertise and experience must include:
- Business analysis, data profiling experience
- Data modelling: 3+ years’ experience with traditional RDBMS including the design of star-schema data marts, performance tuning, and configuration.
- Data integration 3+ years’ experience designing and delivering data integration (ETL) solutions using a variety of different solutions, which could include SSIS, Alteryx, Informatica, Talend, Pentaho, and similar technologies.
Your technology expertise and experience will ideally include:
- Experience in data analysis and visualization. Experience working with Tableau or equivalent data visualisation and BI tools (e.g. Tableau, PowerBI, Qlikview)
- Experience working with AWS infrastructure
- Exposure to advanced analytics applications, with the ability to program in Python and/or R
Personal attributes:
- Excellent communication and presentation skills with an ability to present technical solutions concisely to a range of client stakeholders
- Demonstrated passion for diving into technical issues and solving customer problems
- Demonstrated critical thinking (scientific method) and advanced troubleshooting skills and qualities
- Well organised, proactive, and collaborative
- Ability to engage with many customers at the same time
- Prior experience in a fast-paced start-up environment would be desirable
- Strong task/deliverable management skills, able to work on multiple tasks/deliverables simultaneously and report to your project teams on progression against tasks
Ideally, you will have a relevant Master’s degree and experience working for leading technology consulting firms. You have experienced what it is like working for a big company: at first, the structure was informative, now it’s limiting. Now is the time for the freedom to shine, the freedom to innovate, with the support of like-minded individuals that are thoughtful, humble, and super smart.
About our Culture and Team
We believe in heroes and heroines, and that Laneway is the place to realise this potential.
We say this with confidence as our diverse team of strong, humble women and men from all over the world take our products to market with success and scale. Our belief is that it takes the diversity of thought to truly innovate.
But what truly inspires you? Perhaps you are still searching for inspiration… that’s cool. For us, it’s about the freedom to innovate with the best minds as teammates.
But to what end? What are we all about?
Our mission is based on the simple fact that even the best companies in the world struggle to make analytics work. Even with the best tech available, the gap is obvious: adoption of data and analytics stalls at 32% (Gartner). This is for the best companies in the world. We are focused on the entire organisation to make data more accessible, relevant, and useful. We think adoption of greater than 100% is possible (*ask us what that actually means).
Laneway Analytics is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Our primary customer base is within Australia and just beginning to expand globally.
