Job description

Lyst is a global fashion shopping platform founded in London in 2010 and catering to over 160M shoppers per year. We offer our customers the largest assortment of premium and luxury fashion products in one place, curating pieces from 27,000 of the world's leading brands and stores. In 2025, Lyst joined Zozo, operators of Zozotown, the leading fashion e-commerce platform in Japan. This partnership marks a bold new era for Lyst, as we accelerate our vision and work together to transform the future of fashion shopping through AI and technology.

At Lyst, we obsess over the customer, providing a search and discovery experience which offers inspiration, fulfilment, and personalisation. We believe that fashion is amazing but shopping for fashion often isn't, and we use our technology, data and creativity to bring more joy, greater choice and fewer fails. Our mission is to help fashion shoppers make better decisions and help fashion partners find better audiences as the category-leading destination for every fashion shopper.

We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join our central Data Platform team. We record nearly 100 million lines of data every day and model it across roughly 600 dbt models that power the answers to the product and commercial questions we face. You will help us grow and improve that foundation so the business can go further with it.

This is a genuinely exciting time to join. We are building AI on top of our data, changing how we model, serve and govern it so that teams across Lyst can put AI to work and get to answers themselves instead of waiting in a queue. As an Analytics Engineer you will be hands on with that work, learning fast and growing your craft as the data platform evolves.

You will sit in the central Data Platform team and partner closely with a product development squad in our customer experience tribe. You will work alongside them to give the team visibility on how their features perform and a clear picture of what customers do with what they build. That combination of central platform work and embedded product partnership is a big part of what makes the role varied.

Some of the projects you will work on include:

Building data models and transformation pipelines across the breadth of Lyst data

Optimising our Snowflake warehouse for cost, complexity and speed to answer

Migrating our BI stack from Looker to Omni and helping teams get real value from it

Getting our data ready for AI, so both stakeholders and AI tools can query it reliably

Automating repetitive analysis and reporting, including with AI tooling

Keeping data quality high and holding the line on our data contracts

You will be part of the Data Platform team and work closely with engineers, analysts and business stakeholders across the company.

Responsibilities:

Building and maintaining well-modelled data pipelines across the breadth of Lyst data and use cases

Partnering with your squad in the customer experience tribe to model the data behind their features and show how those features perform

Working with engineers and our data platform engineer to raise data quality and testing standards

Maintaining and optimising our warehouse and BI tooling, spotting opportunities to reduce complexity, cost and time to answer

Building the models and semantic layer that let stakeholders and AI tools get trustworthy answers on their own

Developing and implementing best practice, including guidelines, automation, testing, metadata and data design

Reviewing code and supporting other teams on data ingestion and modelling, providing rich data outputs for end users

Helping deliver our wider data strategy, including the shift toward AI in the data platform

Bridging the gap between how data is created and how it gets used, and supporting stakeholders on data definitions and relationships

Our stack includes: Snowflake, dbt, AWS, Omni (we are migrating across from Looker), Monte Carlo, Terraform, Snowpipe, GitHub, and a growing set of AI tooling.

Strong SQL, with experience working across large, complex datasets, spotting issues and keeping data quality high

Experience with dbt and data modelling, and a want to get better at both

A good communicator, comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Sensible judgement about what to prioritise, so you can focus on the problems that matter most

An eye for repetitive work that can be automated

Comfortable using AI tools in your own workflow, and genuinely interested in how they are changing analytics engineering

Experience with a BI tool such as Omni, Looker, Lightdash or equivalent

Experience with git, Terraform, Python or Jira would be a great bonus

Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP or Azure is a plus

Things that matter to us:

You have a passion for solving problems at scale through automation

You are excited about learning and sharing your knowledge with peers

You are curious at heart and like to take ownership of something to make it better

Being confronted with a difficult or strange problem makes you feel like a detective who wants to crack the mystery

You have a sense of ownership over the products, features and services the team looks after

You strive to write clear, well documented, tested code, and you look to improve existing code and ways of working. When you spot the opportunity, you go for it

Our Ways of Working: We all come into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the option to work remotely or come into the office on the other days. We believe that in person collaboration and community spirit is super important, which is why we spend some of our time in the office and some of our time at home.

Time Off: In addition to the 8 statutory bank holidays, you will receive 29 holidays per year. Lyst’s holiday year runs from 1 April to 31 March.

Competitive Family Leave Package: This includes Enhanced Family Leave for those eligible, paid Time off for Dependent
