Careers

Engineers
As a Timetric engineer, you’ll be involved in every part of our products from day one, which means you’ll be shaping how people communicate with statistics from the ground up. We practice continuous deployment - we’ll expect you to have code in production at the end of your first day.

We won’t expect you to know everything you might need to do before you start here, but we will expect you to be willing to get stuck in and to learn fast. We’re willing to take a gamble on potential. Show us what you’ve done before, but we care more about what you're going to do.

All our current openings are listed below, and we'd love to hear from you if you fit the bill for any of them. But even if there's nothing directly relevant, we're always looking for people who've got strong Python or Javascript skills and who are interested in data management and visualization. If you've got something to offer us, but there's no suitable role currently listed, please get in contact anyway!

UI Designer/Developer
Timetric provides interfaces for exploring and analysing all our millions of series; we provide visualizations that are embedded on high-traffic media sites. We use cutting-edge web technologies to make this happen; we’re trying to make products that work with the web, that are built with a fundamental understanding of the flows of information the web enables.

We also deeply appreciate the importance of UX, and particularly of the unique problems presented by making meaningful yet beautiful data visualizations. If you care about showing people the data that runs the world around them, and in making it understandable and usable, then you should come and work with us.

You need to have:

• Strong HTML/CSS implementation capabilities.
• Familiar with cross-browser issues.
• Very comfortable with Javascript.
• Modern browser technologies/CSS3/SVG
• Good eye for design.
• Appreciation of UX issues.
• Experience of using version control, ideally git.

And it would be really great if you also had some of:

• jQuery experience
• Experience of data visualization.
• Python/Django experience.
• Comfortable within command line Mac/Linux environment.
• Experience of working with open-source tools.
• Numerical/scientific/mathematical background.
• Working knowledge of economics.
• Published open-source software author.

Data Economist/Analyst
Do you love time series? Timetric is nothing without its data which is the foundation of all our analysis, appears in our interactive charting tools and is at the core of our commercial offering. The appetite for data among our customers and in-house analysts is growing rapidly so we are looking to hire senior and junior help to deliver our plans and to make sure that data is fully integrated into our briefing service.

Timetric presents an incredibly wide range of data to its customers. From quarterly official economic data to half-hourly weather readings, from opinion polls to electricity usage. Figures come from a wide range of sources including central banks, national statistics offices, private bodies and the World Bank. We are looking to widen and deepen what we offer - and fully incorporate our proprietary data and indices into publicly available or licensed data.

We are open-minded about the background of the individuals we seek. You might have worked in one of the big finance/economic/business data factories, the statistics team of a government department, a bank, trade association or at a stock market index provider. No particular qualifications are required but you will have no doubt about the importance and wonder of story-telling with data. You will have first hand experience of a variety of statistics web sites, charting tools and the world of business/economics research. You'll be at home with excel and other basic tools of the trade, but also be able to manage a team of data collectors/curators (in London and India) and work closely with the programmers that scrape public data. You will work along side Timetric's economists and analysts and will have the chance to blog and write if that appeals. The job is at the heart of London team so you will be expected to contribute to the vision of Timetric and lead product development. 

All that really matters is that you have a passion for delivering data rapidly and accurately. If you are interested in doing something innovative, get in touch - jobs@timetric.com
