Job Information At Loopt we are constantly looking at the numbers to guide our business and product decisions. Join our team and help build our next generation of analysis and visualization tools. Our metrics platform spans all our multiple client platforms and our server components. Its built using some of the hottest new technologies like MongoDB and Node.js to ensure efficient operation.
Our metrics engineers do a variety of system engineering tasks to maintain the infrastructure, UI building to create new visualization, and data analysis to support ad hoc requests.
Experience:
Scripting: Collecting all the numbers requires an orchestrated collection of scripts running on several different machines. At a minimum you need to understand basic scripting concepts and be able to read scripts written in any combination of Javascript, Ruby, Python, Bash, and PowerShell. You must be able to write new scripts from scratch in at least one of Javascript, Ruby, or Python.
Linux / Unix Experience: Most of the systems youll work on are Linux based so you cant be frightened by the command line. You dont need to be a Unix coding wizard by any means, but you need to be comfortable using things like ssh, scp, and piping between commands.
HTML, CSS, & Javascript: Most of our visualizations are done within our in-house metrics site and these will be one of the primary things youll be working on. You will need to be comfortable extending this system on your own by adding new pages and modifying existing ones.
Node.js: Were using Node.js for a number of our tools so previous experience with this is a plus, but not a requirement given how new the technology is.
Intepreting Business Requirements: A big part of this job will be to construct adhoc queries and reports based on requests from the executive team. You must be comfortable talking to the executives to gather their requirements and then translating those into appropriate reports. Complex statistical analysis is generally not required but you should be able to work with our in house experts to implement such analysis when it is needed.
SQL: A portion of our data must be queried from SQL based data sources. You must be comfortable doing queries and joins. Deep experience optimizing stored procedures is not a requirement. There will be some SQL work but not an overwhelming amount so a basic understanding is acceptable. Deeper experience is a plus.
2+ years working on professional or personal projects that involve these technologies. Experience with building internal web based tools is preferred.
