Analytical Backend Engineer

Before Humly, Kristoffer (CPO) and Gustav (CEO) were college students and substitute teachers, dealing with the same problems many face with agencies: the last-minute work calls, the calls that don’t come, the lack of power or say in your career, and so much more. So they built a home where educators are as important as the job itself. They built Humly, so educators globally can have the power to choose when, where, and how much they work – simply and easily, without hassle. With 23k+teachers across 7.5k+ schools/nurseries and growing, it's fair to say that Humly has turned into growth adventure.

About the Role

At Humly we nurture a data-informed culture.We measure and analyse constantly. We share the numbers with everyone, and use many metrics to drive our strategy and decisions, small and large.

Metrics and KPI are essential. But not all metrics are equally important. They need hierarchy.
