We're Acquired Recurring Payments. Redefined. Acquired helps businesses win and retain customers. We process payments intelligently and optimise every aspect of the recurring payment lifecycle. We combine this capability with exceptional sector expertise and a highly personal, tailored service focused on long term partnerships with our customers. How we work matters as much as what we build. We're hugely ambitious and passionate about recurring payments. As a team, we pride ourselves on being relentlessly focused on results. If that's how you operate, you could be a great fit for Acquired. Your Mission Acquired's commercial, product, finance, and payments teams increasingly run on data. The Data & Analytics team turns warehouse data into the metrics, models, and analysis those teams use to make decisions. This is a Data Analytics Engineering role - modelling, semantic layer, and stakeholder facing analysis - not data infrastructure. Pipeline orchestration, ingestion, and platform work is owned elsewhere on the team. We're open on level. The role is a fit for: An early career engineer or analyst keen to learn modern analytics engineering on the job. A strong data analyst ready to step into modelling, dbt, and end to end ownership. An established analytics engineer who wants a broad, high agency remit across a payments business. What the role involves The day to day mix sits across: Modelling - building and maintaining the warehouse models (facts, dimensions, marts) that downstream analysis depends on. Semantic layer & metrics - defining the governed metrics business teams use (revenue, margin, conversion, retention, pipeline). Stakeholder analysis - partnering with Commercial, Product, Finance, and Engineering to scope questions, deliver answers, and run UAT. Dashboarding & self service - Data Studio dashboards and tooling that lets non analysts answer their own questions. Data documentation & democratisation - keeping the warehouse documented and approachable, including our AI data assistant (Dot). How we work with Claude Code We use Claude Code heavily across the team - for dbt model authoring, ticket implementation, documentation maintenance, code review, and analytical exploration. You'd be expected to be comfortable working alongside it from day one, or get comfortable quickly. We have a written operating model for how engineers and agents work together; we'll share it with you during the process. What that looks like in practice: Humans stay accountable. The agent does work; you own the result. Human attention is spread across the workflow - intent, approach, in flight, sign off - rather than concentrated at PR review. We extend the tooling. Custom skills tailored to our stack, MCP integrations across the tools we use day to day, slash commands and hooks for repetitive workflows. Curating these is engineering work - you'll use what's there, refine what isn't working, and propose new things. Evidence first investigation - we expect both humans and AI agents to cite file/line, query output, or commit history before making claims. "Trust but verify" applies to everything an assistant produces. The team's bias is: let AI do the rote work, spend human time on judgement, design, stakeholder partnership, and the bits where context matters most. If that resonates, you'll fit in well. If it sounds like a distraction from "real" analytics work, this probably isn't the right team. What You'll Bring We do not expect you to have prior experience with every tool in our stack. SQL is our only hard and fast technical requirement. For the rest, we're looking for strong analytical fundamentals and a high capacity and eagerness to learn. Must haves SQL - fluent or rapidly improving. Window functions, CTEs, performance sensitive query design. We use BigQuery. Analytical thinking - ability to break down ambiguous problems, interpret data, and translate findings into decisions. Self direction - comfortable owning work and asking for help when stuck. Your manager is an active individual contributor, so expect low control and high agency. Communication & stakeholder posture - comfortable proactively setting up meetings, interviewing stakeholders, and writing things down. Visiting Nottingham/London to build relationships in person. Eagerness to learn - excited about picking up new tools (dbt, the Semantic Layer, Dagster, Data Studio, BigQuery ML) on the job. Nice to haves If you have experience with some of these, that's great. If not, you should be excited to learn them: Dimensional modelling - facts, dimensions, grain, how to extend a model without breaking downstream consumers. dbt - staging/intermediate/mart layers, tests, snapshots, macros, incremental models. Semantic layers (dbt Semantic Layer ideally; Cube.dev or LookML transferable). Data Studio or another BI tool. Payments or fintech domain (cards, acquiring, IC++ pricing, routing) - domain training is fine if you bring strong fundamentals. Working alongside AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) - comfortable delegating, reviewing, and steering AI generated work. About Us A two person Data & Analytics team inside Acquired's wider Engineering function. A modern warehouse stack: BigQuery, dbt (Core/Semantic Layer, moving toward Fusion), Dataflow (Beam) for extracts, Data Studio for dashboards, Dagster (deploying mid year) for orchestration. A genuinely cross functional remit - your stakeholders span Commercial, Product, Finance, and Engineering. An organisation in the middle of a platform rebuild, an invoicing platform replacement, and a Finance Transformation programme - plenty of meaningful greenfield work.

About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. The Role We are looking for an Infrastructure Manager to build and lead the team responsible for the internal platform our entire organization depends on. You will own the compute, storage, networking, and CI/CD systems that our hardware, software, ML, and compiler engineers use to build, test, and collaborate daily. This is a high-ownership role with the freedom to define our internal infrastructure, security standards, and technical operations from the ground up. You will guide your team to transform slow, manual workflows into fast, reproducible, and genuinely secure systems, while currently holding the reins for our foundational IT operations as the company expands. If you care equally about maximizing engineering velocity, establishing best-in-class security, and building a highly capable technical team, there is a massive amount of impactful work to dig into here. Responsibilities Day to day, you will guide your team and manage the strategic execution of our engineering platform and technical operations. This is a mix of strategic alignment, architectural guidance, and team enablement focused on: Team Leadership & Delivery: Directing the team in building provisioning automation, CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, network design, and observability systems. Operational & IT Oversight: Ensuring your team effectively supports and unblocks engineers on complex build or connectivity issues, while also steering the broader IT function-including identity management, device fleets, and SaaS administration-as we scale through this current phase of growth. Security Posture: Championing a "secure by default" mindset across all infrastructure, endpoints, and access points. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering closely with engineering leaders (with compiler engineering as an early, demanding customer) to ensure the engineering platform and the wider company environment stay highly coherent and efficient. Skills & Experience Team Leadership & Management: Proven track record of managing, mentoring, and scaling high-performing infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineering teams. You know how to align technical execution with overarching company goals. Deep Technical Foundation: A strong background as an engineer or architect in cloud computing, storage, and networking. You don't need to write every line of code, but you must be able to hold your own in architectural discussions and guide technical decisions. Developer Productivity & CI/CD: Experience overseeing the design and operation of robust build systems and CI/CD pipelines. Familiarity with the unique infrastructure demands of hardware, ML, or compiler engineering teams is a significant plus. Security & Access Management: Deep understanding of infrastructure security, identity and access management (IAM), and endpoint security.
