Applied Analytics Engineer - UK

Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Build workflow automations in n8n, developing modular, reusable sub workflows and scalable patterns, including structured outputs for Coda briefs and visualisation platforms.
• Integrate with internal and external APIs, handling authentication, error recovery, retries, rate limits, and tolerant connectivity patterns.
• Build and refine agentic workflows using LLMs, including guardrails, safe failure modes, and input validation, and experiment with emerging automation and AI frameworks to introduce new patterns and capabilities.
• Monitor and troubleshoot workflow executions across APIs, agentic behaviour, data transformations, and orchestration layers, implementing effective logging, alerting, and debugging strategies.
• Break down ambiguous requests into scoped work packages, prototypes, and MVPs.
• Own workflows end to end, from concept to deployment to ongoing monitoring.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 2-3 years building automation, data pipelines, or integration workflows
• Core languages: Proficiency in JavaScript for writing expressions and transformations in n8n, with Python a strong plus for ML or analysis workflows. Strong SQL skills (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Workflow automation: Hands-on experience with n8n, including modular workflow design and reusable patterns
• AI and agentic workflows: Experience building and maintaining LLM basedagentic workflows with guardrails, hallucination mitigation and safe failure patterns.
• Prompt engineering and LLM interaction design: Experience designing and maintaining production grade prompts for LLM driven systems, including clear instruction framing, structured and schema constrained outputs and few shot strategies. Ability to align prompts to business intent, implement guardrails to limit hallucinations, and design prompts that are reliable within multi step automated workflows.
• API Integration: Experience integrating APIs with robust error handling, authentication, rate limiting, and debugging
• Visualisation: Ability to deliver structured outputs in Coda and support lightweight visualisation needs.
• Data handling: Ability to manipulate and validate structured datasets (JSON, CSV, YAML) with attention to data quality and schema consistency.
• Engineering foundations: Testing and QA practices, deployment workflows, documentation habits, modularisation, and coding best practices.
• Observability and reliability: Strong monitoring, logging, alerting, and troubleshooting capabilities for multi-step automation systems.
• Change management: Experience promoting workflows safely into production and managing production-impacting updates.
• Ways of working: Requirements gathering, comfort with ambiguity, iterative prototyping, and end-to-end workflow ownership.
• Communication: Ability to translate technical concepts, risks, and constraints into clear guidance for stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Machine learning fundamentals: Familiarity with exploratory analysis (Python Jupyter, Pandas, Numpy), basic ML workflows, small scale experiments, evaluation metrics (precision, recall, F1, ROC AUC), and approaches for evaluating LLM or agent performance.
• LLM ecosystem: Exposure to embeddings, vector stores, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns.
• Environment management: Experience working across development, staging, and production environments with safe workflow promotion.
• Collaboration: Ability to review peer workflows and provide constructive feedback.
• Curiosity and experimentation: Willingness to explore emerging automation, LLM, and agentic frameworks.
• Industry context: Experience working with SaaS, analytics, or AI-driven products.
