Analyst

## Who is RedMonk

We're the analyst firm that thinks developers are the most important constituency in technology. Our work shows up here on HN from time to time.

## What You Need to Have

- A rational, fact-based based approach. Opinions are fine. Data is better.

- The ability to synthesize disparate data from different sources, both quantitative and qualitative.

- Excellent communication skills, and ideally experience presenting.

- The ability to write clear, digestible and insightful analysis of complex technology – and not take months to do it.

- A reasonable online presence. You don’t need to be Taylor Swift, but if you don’t know what Twitter is there’s a problem.

- Deep and relevant technical expertise in technology infrastructure.

- A personality that both we and our clients enjoy working with. You can call this the no assholes rule.

- The ability to travel regularly to industry events and client sites. - A passion for developers.

## It’d Be Nice If You Had

- A background in statistics, economics or both.

- Exposure to/training with statistical programming languages (R or Python if you must).

- Experience as a developer, whether as a hobby or profession.

- A broad range of technology exposure (as opposed to being expert in a tiny niche).

- Familiarity with media creation and editing; audio, video or both.

- An affinity for craft beer.
