Senior Analytics Engineer - Cyber Data Platform

As the Senior Analytics Engineer on the Cyber Analytics team, you will be key in designing and leading the implementation of transforming the raw data into organised, usable, well-documented, and tested data models. These data models will empower security teams to draw insights and develop reporting capability, advanced analytics, machine learning, and GenAI solutions to enhance our security defences. You will collaborate closely with cross functional security and data teams to ensure the security data is reliable, accurate and accessible. Also, you will contribute to the analytics platform architecture and mentor junior team members to deliver high-quality data products for cybersecurity.

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
