Analytics Engineer
Job description
ABOUT KOHO
We're on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We're a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.
At KOHO, we're not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.
KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We're building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you'll fit right in.

KOHO is looking for an Analytics Engineer to build and scale the reporting pipelines and data models that power decision-making across the company. Working alongside fellow Analytics Engineers and Data Analysts, you'll partner with teams across the business - from Finance and Operations to Product, Tech, and beyond - to turn business needs into reliable, well-modelled data.

- Design scalable data models: Apply modelling frameworks (one big table, entity tables, event streams, Kimball) tailored to the use case
- Optimize and monitor: Maintain pipeline health, optimize query performance, and implement data quality monitoring
- Enable the
team: Document solutions, establish best practices, and help upskill fellow Analytics Engineers and Analysts
- Integrate cross-functional data: Work across domain boundaries to unify data into cohesive, reusable reporting structures
WHO YOU ARE
- 3+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or similar data roles
- DBT expertise: Comfortable with complex DBT projects and various materializations (incremental, table, view, etc.), snapshots, variables, macros, and Jinja
- SQL skills: Query optimization and performance tuning
- Modern data stack: DBT Core and/or DBT Cloud, Git. A plus if experience with Redshift.
- Collaborative: You work well alongside analysts, PMs, and engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions
- Clear communicator: You adapt communication to different audiences and connect technical work to business outcomes
- Takes initiative: You identify opportunities for improvement and act without waiting to be asked

Don't meet every requirement listed above? Apply anyway if you meet most of them. We'd rather hear from you than have you rule yourself out.
