You will own end-to-end the Data Governance framework — defining rules, implementing controls, monitoring quality, and driving remediation across the company — so that every compliance report is reliable and every business decision is grounded in trusted data. You will work closely with Alice Fresko, our Head of Analytics Engineer, and with Paul, our Staff Analytics Engineer, and sit at the intersection of Data, Product, Engineering, and Compliance. This is a first-of-its-kind role at Qonto: you won't inherit a mature process, you'll build it. ➡️ As an Analytics Engineer at Qonto, you will: Build and operate the Data Governance framework — establish data quality rules, standards, and controls across the company's critical datasets, with a clear focus on banking compliance requirements (audits, regulatory reporting) Implement and maintain data quality checks — design and ship dbt tests and source-level controls (e.g. postcode validity, age ranges, referential integrity) that catch issues before they reach compliance reports Own the monitoring & remediation loop — produce regular data quality reporting for data owners and stewards, run cadenced follow-up rituals with stakeholders, and ensure action plans are executed — without being annoying about it Drive adoption of Data Governance tooling — own Data governance tools as the source of truth for the data catalogue and quality controls; clarify ownership, build the operating model, and keep it alive Scale the program through AI and automation — actively reduce manual work by building/configuring automated checks, monitoring pipelines, follow-up workflows, and reporting logic; this role is highly automatable and we expect you to leverage that ➡️ What you can expect: You're building from scratch — the framework is in its early stages. You won't be inheriting a playbook; you'll be writing it. That means high autonomy, high ownership, and a real "first-of-its-kind" trajectory Compliance is the bar — The outputs of your work will ensure Qonto is ready to transition from Payment institution to Credit Institution. The outputs of your work feed into regulatory reporting and audit reviews. Precision, rigor, and traceability aren't optional Broad stakeholder exposure — you’ll work daily with senior PMs, Backend, domain data owners at senior leadership level and Risk & Compliance teams.. Strong influence and communication skills matter as much as your technical chops AI is the multiplier — we use AI daily at Qonto (read our vision). We expect you to use it too — not just as a coding assistant, but to automate the repeatable
