Description

We’re looking for a passionate Senior Analytics Engineer to elevate Insight Timer — the world’s largest meditation and wellness community, with over 30 million users. As part of our dynamic analytics team, you'll work closely with product and data to transform ideas into impactful insights that drive people's wellbeing.

This is a hands-on role focused on transforming complex data into actionable insights, enabling strategic decisions and product enhancements. You'll utilise your communication skills to convey data concepts clearly and apply software engineering practices to maintain clean, accessible data sets.

About Insight Timer

Imagine a platform which could amplify something as simple as your attendance into deep transformational shifts for humanity. A place where showing up was enough. Where each individual visit combined with millions more to trigger huge waves of health and happiness around the world. What would such a platform look like? Could you even build it? And more importantly, how would you protect it from becoming another Instagram, TikTok or Twitter which magnify the very worst of us.

If we can answer these questions, we believe Insight Timer’s community will emerge as one of the most important companies of the 21st century. A place - not a product - which is capable of reversing the modern day health pandemic by harmonising the human spirit before problems arise. And if we get there... well, the opportunities are endless. Imagine a modern-day renaissance where health, belonging and purpose become the new definitions of happiness for hundreds of millions of people around the world, including you.

And all you need to do… is show up.
