Senior Analytics Engineer – Data Governance
As an Analytics Engineer – Data Governance you become the architect of Qonto's data trust layer as the company transitions to a fully licensed bank. You own the Data Governance framework end-to-end: defining rules, implementing controls, monitoring quality and driving remediation across the company so that every compliance report is reliable and every business decision rests on trusted data. This is a first-of-its-kind role where you build the process from scratch rather than inheriting a mature playbook, working at the intersection of Data, Product, Engineering and Compliance.

- ▹Own the monitoring and remediation loop, producing regular data quality reporting and running follow-up rituals with stakeholders
- ▹Drive adoption of Data Governance tooling as the source of truth for the data catalogue and quality controls
- ▹Scale the program through AI and automation, building automated checks, monitoring pipelines, follow-up workflows and reporting logic
Requirements
