About 9fin
9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.
Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.
Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.
We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.
The Opportunity
The Analytics team is a critical engine driving 9fin's mission, and our data platform sits at its core. We are strong believers in building robust, reliable data foundations to empower data-driven decisions across the entire business. The Analytics Engineering team is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining our central data warehouse, creating the foundational data models that underpin analytics, reporting, and operational excellence across various departments, including Product, Finance, Operations, and more.
We are seeking a skilled Analytics Engineer to join us and elevate 9fin's data capabilities. In this role, you will focus on building and optimizing the core data warehouse, ensuring data quality, accessibility, and performance for a wide range of internal stakeholders. You will be instrumental in creating a trusted and well-governed data environment that enables informed decision-making at all levels of the organization. This is an opportunity to shape the very foundation of how 9fin leverages data for both strategic insights and operational efficiency.
What you'll work on
Every day is different but a key contributor to our data platform, you might:
This role will be a great fit if you:
Have strong data warehousing fundamentals: You understand dimensional modelling and modern warehouse design principles, and you’ve applied them in production environments to build scalable, maintainable data models
Bring significant hands-on experience with dbt and cloud warehouses: You’ve designed and refactored complex staging, intermediate and mart-layer models in platforms such as BigQuery or Snowflake, and you optimise for clarity, performance and long-term maintainability.
Demonstrate deep SQL expertise: You are highly fluent in SQL, comfortable with complex transformations, window functions and performance optimisation, and able to reason clearly about query plans and trade-offs.
Have strong experience with semantic and BI layers: You have worked extensively with modern semantic or BI platforms (e.g. Omni, Cube or similar), understand how metric definitions propagate across tools, and have owned the design and maintenance of consistent, reliable KPI logic powering self-serve analytics.
Understand ELT and pipeline mechanics: You are comfortable working within modern ELT architectures, collaborating with Data Engineering on ingestion and orchestration, and troubleshooting issues that span from source systems to downstream models.
Have strong metric judgment: You’ve worked on defining and evolving core business or product metrics, understand the importance of semantic consistency, and know how to reduce ambiguity in KPI definitions across teams and tools.
Care deeply about data quality: You implement robust testing in dbt, proactively identify weak points in modelling logic, and prioritise clean, well-documented, production-ready data assets over quick fixes.
Are comfortable operating in ambiguity: You can take loosely defined business problems, ask the right questions, and translate them into structured, reusable data models without heavy direction.
Communicate clearly and influence effectively: You can articulate trade-offs, push back constructively when requirements are unclear or fragile, and build strong working relationships across Product, Finance, Commercial and Operations teams.
Operate with an AI-native mindset: You actively use AI tools to increase your leverage; accelerating SQL development, generating and refining dbt tests and documentation, automating repetitive workflows, and continuously experimenting with ways to improve productivity. You treat AI as a force multiplier in your daily work, not an afterthought.
Bonus points if you are:
At 9fin, data isn’t just a support function; it’s at the core of our product. You’ll be surrounded by smart, curious people who are passionate about using data to make better decisions, improve our product, and create meaningful impact.
