Who you are
As a small and early stage start-up, alignment on culture and values is our #1 priority. People that are successful at Pocus, regardless of role, strongly identify with the following:
- You are a humble over-achiever. You're constantly asking for and excited about feedback that helps you learn and grow.
- You don't take yourself too seriously. You like to work hard but not without plenty of smiles and laughs along the way
- You are delusionally optimistic. Big challenges and projects excite and motivate you.
- You have exceptional integrity and always do the right thing, even if and especially when no one else is watching.
- You are a problem solver, not a problem identifier. Your first reaction when encountering something that isn't working is to think "What can I do to make this better?"
- You strive to perfectly balance individual initiative with humility and collaboration, understanding when it is better to ask for help and when it is better to solve a problem independently.
- You move with a self-imposed sense of urgency. You strive to constantly find the perfect balance between speed and quality and you understand when to make that tradeoff.
- You have a high bar for quality and you honor your commitments.
- You are excited about building foundations and you love learning new things as part of that. You have a bias towards documentation and writing things down.

- Proven technical experience with SQL, APIs and Python
- A proven ability to quickly learn and familiarize yourself with new concepts in a self-directed way. Examples: A client's business model or a raw sales or financial dataset.
- A strong business acumen combined with an analytical skillset. Comfort and fluency using data to solve problems is more important than deep knowledge of a specific tool.
- Excellent communication in all forms. You are comfortable adjusting your style and approach to communicate technical concepts with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Endless curiosity and excitement about solving ambiguous and unstructured problems using data for external customers.
- High levels of organization in your workflows - you understand what it means to work on multiple projects simultaneously and are able to prioritize and manage your time efficiently.
