Founding Engineer (Analytics)

In this turbulent market, I can confidently say that we are growing at an incredible rate. You can listen to the demo calls yourself when you are onboard but to give an analogy, we are selling water in a vast and empty desert. But we need more engineers to build the product faster and basically flood the whole desert.

One pillar of the product is the analytics and reporting capabilities. You can check out our live demo: https://hockeystack.com/live-demo.

Your job will be a combination of primarily backend and a little bit of frontend work:

• Writing new SQL queries and optimizing the current queries for better performance and accuracy
• Implementing novel ways to visualize data and report on insights

Our backend is built upon Node.js and Express so you need to be very comfortable with Javascript. We use ClickHouse to store and query analytics data but good knowledge on other SQL databases are also accepted.

You have to come with some experience from other kinds of analytics tools (whether it is product analytics or any other kinds of analysis).

The gist of this position is how well you can transform data using SQL and actually create visualizations of it on the platform.

We don't have a convoluted hiring process.

1. A screening call We have a thirty minute screening call where I talk about what we've been up to and give you the chance to talk about your own story

2. A more in-depth technical interview This is a 1-2 hour call that consists of some technical questions and a work sample test where we work on a very small piece of a project together to implement a feature.

3. Depending on how the technical interview goes, we can have you meet with the rest of the team or send you the offer. We believe that it is necessary to make sure we have a work synergy before actually hiring someone.
