Since our launch in 2019, we have transformed how money moves across borders with our operations spanning 6 out of 7 continents and covering both the busiest and most underserved (remittance) corridors. We tapped into a massive shift - from banks to phones - bringing digital finance to places where traditional systems never reached. The next stage of growth will fuel a network of services and products especially designed to make money more accessible to diaspora communities including local cards, and additional savings and payments features. We’re growing fast, backed by world-class investors, and scaling a product that blends real world impact with cutting edge fintech innovation. Here’s a little more: - Founded by Harvard grads and 3-time founders who previously built Segovia (acquired) and GiveDirectly (>$300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO in the world) - Backed by top investors including Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, Unbound, Wamda, and more - Built by global top performers from Bain, Google, McKinsey, Uber, Checkout, Bolt, and beyond - we move fast, stay humble, and care deeply about our mission - Truly global team - 250+ people, 50+ nationalities, 50+ languages - Guided by our values - ownership, impact, humility, and heart - in deed, not just word ## The Role We’re looking for a hands-on Staff Analytics Engineer to own the delivery of first-class data systems at Taptap Send. This is a senior technical IC role: you’ll design, build and maintain the dbt modelling layer that all teams — from Finance to Product to Markets — rely on to make decisions.

You’ll report to the Head of Data, partnering closely with our COO, Engineering, Finance, Treasury, and Markets teams, and help shape how the broader data discipline scales. The role is full-time – we’re open to individuals in one of the following hubs: London, Dubai or NYC. ## Key responsibilities - Own dbt transformation. Design and build the mission-critical models, and the standards, tests and docs that keep them reliable and performant at scale - Pre-empt problems. Produce the dashboards, alerts and tools that surface the issues before they become incidents - Ensure self-serve data. Build the knowledge layer, docs and quality checks, so others can drive their own analysis - Use AI effectively. Use AI tools and agents across the modelling lifecycle — from accelerating dbt development to improving data quality — and help the rest of the team do the same - Tackle meaty domain problems e.g. via high-priority special data projects - Champion Data.
