Analytics Platform Engineer

New Yesterday

At Virgin Media, we’re transforming the way our teams use data—making it faster, cleaner, and smarter. As an Analytics Platform Engineer, you’ll work with GCP, Terraform, and modern data tooling to empower analysts and engineers alike, helping turn raw data into insights that drive real business impact.

This role requires you to be commutable to either our London or Manchester office.

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our analytics platform, designing, building, and maintaining cloud-based environments in GCP. You’ll use Terraform and other Infrastructure-as-Code tools to manage and scale infrastructure, collaborate closely with data engineers on architecture and permissions, and support the teams that turn data into actionable insights. This is a hands-on role where your work directly impacts how our business makes decisions, giving you the chance to grow your skills in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.

Who we are

The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. We put our customers first, making life simpler, smoother, and more joyful. With big ambitions and a brilliant team, we’re building a more connected future for everyone.

Our ways of working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office, it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days - anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.

Accessible, inclusive and equitable for all

Virgin Media O2 is an equal opportunities employer and we're working hard to remove bias and barriers for our people and candidates. So, we build equity and inclusion into everything we do, from the policies we craft to the relationships we shape. We support and encourage you to be your authentic self throughout your application journey with us.

The must haves

In order to be considered, you must have the following experience;

  • Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) tools – Able to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure reliably.
  • Hands-on with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud.
  • Strong SQL skills – Comfortable writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting queries in high-volume data environments.
  • Familiarity with Python – Able to support scripts, automation, and integrations (Python experience is a bonus but increasingly important).
  • Knowledge of cloud environment practices and deployment pipelines – Understanding CI/CD, permissions, and platform infrastructure management.
  • The other stuff we are looking for

    We'd also love you to bring;

  • Experience working in a platform team within an analytics or data-focused environment – Familiarity with supporting multiple data teams and their workflows.
  • Knowledge of data governance – Understanding of data lineage, quality standards, and compliance practices.
  • What's in it for you

    Our goal is to celebrate our people, their lives and everything in-between. We aim to create a culture that empowers everyone to bring the best versions of themselves to work each and every day. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a brighter world.

    Working at Virgin Media O2, you get a bumper reward package bursting with benefits, and loads of extras you can add if you’d like to. These are designed to support both you and your loved ones, making sure that you’re covered no matter what life throws your way.
