Basecamp is hiring a data analyst

Basecamp is hiring a data analyst to help us make better decisions in all areas of the business. 

This includes everything from running A/B tests with statistical rigor to forecasting revenue for the year to tracing performance problems. 

You won’t be able to answer every question immediately or know how all the systems work on day one. 

We want strong, diverse teams built from different backgrounds, experiences and identities. 

Today, our team works from 32 different cities spread across 6 countries.

About the job

Here are some examples of projects you might work on:

  • Keep us patient for a statistically significant result.
  • Identify when a Brute-Force Login attack started, quarantine the IP addresses involved. Write up the Forensics report at the end.
  • Software companies are starting to collect sales tax on software like ours. A Sales-Tax engine can help determine whether to buy or build a software.
  • Help product strategy analyze usage data to figure out whether a certain feature is working as intended, and if it is, who it’s important to.

Working On Data

Data informs almost everything we do at Basecamp, but ultimately we drive the company with our heart. The job isn’t about maximizing revenue or minimizing costs. You should be able to do both the technical and statistical work to answer questions like the ones in the examples above. A solid fundamental approach to analysis will pave the way.
