WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Within the Analytics Engineering team, we are looking for like-minded people that we would like to work with. We are not looking for a specific type of professional. We all come from very different cultural and educational backgrounds. We love this diversity, and we built an inclusive culture around it. We do not judge, instead, we care about and support each other. We share a genuine curiosity about what we do, and together we get better at it every day. We look for people with this mindset before anything else. We welcome various levels of experience and seniority. What we value the most is your curiosity and willingness to learn. Looking forward to meeting you!
