At UpCompany, we’re looking for really smart people who can get things done. We’re looking for self-starters—the kind of people who can be given general directions and execute like mad to drive the business forward. We’re looking for insanely creative people who are bubbling with ideas, but who do not get distracted from the big picture. We’re looking for strong people who can put their personal ego aside to do what’s in the interest of the company. We’re looking for people who like to win and know what it takes to do so. If you’re the kind of person who is driven to complete things, and likes to work hard while having fun, please apply!

Below are descriptions of a few roles we need filled. Don’t worry if you’re not an exact match, we’re not trying to shoehorn people into fixed slots. UpCompany is a fluid organization, and we’re not too concerned with titles. Instead, we’re looking for people who can grow with the company. If you’re the right person, we’ll make it work.

Web Analytics Developer

Are you a true data whore? Do you run analytics on your personal apache log files to eek out usage trends and correlate the peaks with news events? Do you think the whole world could rapidly be improved by doing regressions on randomized trial data to determine what actually work? Was learning about A/B testing a transcendental moment, when you realized that the era of real-time analytics and multivariate testing had finally arrived? Can you do Taguchi?

At UpCompany, we’re looking for someone to help us build an extremely data-driven website, the kind of website where every pixel counts, and has the supporting analytical metrics to prove it. We’re looking for someone who can organize and correlate vast amounts of data, and can discriminate legitimate trends from non causal noise. If you have a very strong background in mathematics and statistics, understand how economic methods can be applied to website design and analysis, and are a firm believer in the scientific method, then read on. The ideal candidate would be able to implement these techniques in code, and even inform the Data Service Architect on design and implementation requirements and constraints.
