Analytics Engineer (Remote)

Tasman helps fast-growing companies build out a best-in-class data platform and team.

We work with companies of all sizes, stages (from pre-series A to post-IPO), industries, and business models (e.g. ecommerce, B2C subscription, B2B SaaS, etc). Past clients include well-known brands like Asana Rebel, Canon, Ecosia, Kaia Health, and Pensionbee. What they all have in common is a desire to use data to improve their decision making. This is also what drives us: we deliver the people, platform, and processes to make that possible.

We do this by operating as an interim data team for our clients—occasionally alongside an existing data team—always with the goal of fully handing over to an internal data team by the end of the project. We leverage our combined experience in data strategy, business analysis, data engineering, analytics engineering, data analytics, and data science to deliver meaningful insights to the business and set their internal data team up for long-term success.

Tasman was founded in 2017 and has since grown to a team of 15 across three countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden. We expect to double in size in 2022 as we take on an increasing number of clients. We are a profitable business and have not taken outside investment—our growth is fully funded by the revenue from client work.‍

The work environment at Tasman:

We are a remote and distributed team: we give everyone the flexibility to work from home, a co-working space of their choice, or one of our offices. We trust our team and understand that life sometimes happens in between work.

Moreover, we want to create an environment where people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds can thrive and achieve meaningful and sustainable growth. We take a people-first approach that promotes work-life balance alongside physical and mental well-being, because we understand that investing in the long-term health and success of our team members achieves the best outcomes for everyone involved.

As a small company, we are still a work in progress. We are working to craft a culture and workplace where people who love data are able to do their best work. We therefore welcome feedback on everything we do: from hiring and onboarding, to how we work and communicate, and how we most effectively deliver value to our clients.

Application process:

We understand that interviewing for a new role can be time consuming and, occasionally, frustrating. We will be respectful of your time and inform you of our decision as soon as we have made it. We aim to run an inclusive process so if reasonable accommodations are needed to participate in our job application process, please let us know.

This is what you can expect from the application process:

Application. You will be asked to submit a resume and answer a few questions, which help us understand how your background and interests fit with what we are looking for at Tasman. Make sure to answer these questions carefully as they can make the difference between a successful application and not.
Short introductory call. We will schedule a brief call with the hiring manager for this role to discuss your background and interests and to give you the opportunity to learn more about Tasman.
Technical task. You will be asked to work on a set of problems that reflect the technical and communication skills needed for this role. It gives us a sense of your skills and it hopefully also gives you a taste of what it’s like working for Tasman. We will give you personal feedback on the task, regardless of the outcome.
Technical interview. If the task is successful, we will schedule a 1-hour interview with 2 senior engineers to discuss the technical task. They will also ask more detailed, technical questions about prior work (or other) experience.
Team interview. The final step in the application process is a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager for this role and a senior non-engineering team member. Their questions will focus on culture fit and broader business understanding. You will, of course, get to ask them plenty of questions too to learn more about what it’s like to work for Tasman.
Decision. We will let you know our decision and, if we make you an offer, we will give you the opportunity to talk to others on our team to support you in making your decision.

The hiring manager for this role is Christophe Bogaert.

We process and interview candidates on an ongoing basis. If you have any questions about the role or the process, feel free to contact us. Note that we are an English-speaking company so we look for the ability to communicate with clarity and precision in English—both verbally and in writing.
