Now Hiring: Remote Head of Engineering

About the company:
At Funnelytics, we’re working to build the gold standard in marketing analytics products. We believe that analytics should be an interactive experience, rather than a simple visualization of charts and graphs. Analytics products with the same dry metrics are all too common. Our mission is to provide a marketing analytics platform that intuitively opens up new insights that you would only otherwise get from a team of data scientists.

As the Head of Engineering at Funnelytics, you will play an instrumental role in reshaping the way in which businesses and marketers think about web analytics. We’ve thrown away traditional charts and graphs to start from scratch to build an immersive analytics platform.

  • Construct an execution plan to reach goals set out in our technical vision.
  • Keep stakeholders informed on the progress of projects and the status of engineering.
  • Create strategies to reduce technical debt while continuing to deliver value to customers.
  • Create KPIs to maintain accountability.

  • Past experience with Node and Redshift (customer-facing analytics)
