A day in the life of a Data Analytics Engineer at Wejo
As a Data Analytics Engineer at Wejo you will be working with Big Data, with over 11 million cars globally we collect data for more than 44 billion journeys every day! A core part of your role will be to discover new techniques for drawing meaningful insights from connected car data for real-life applications.

- Demonstrating feasibility of an idea with simplistic, but accurate, prototypes based on real driver behaviours
- Unearthing & integrating new datasets to complement the data we already have
We know that working together and listening to each other is what makes us strong, so in this role we want to hear your ideas of new data structures and new methodologies we can implement to further improve the way we derive value from our connected car data.

- Scala
- Databricks
- SQL
- R
- Any BI/Visualisation tool (bonus)
We know our tech stack is unique, and as we always like to say it's all about the journey.
