Hi there, Ties here! I'm a Data Scientist at Hobbii responsible for the data flowing throughout the company. Hobbii is growing with rapid speed, which means rapidly growing data needs. Some say that data is boring, but I would argue it's beautiful! That’s why we’re looking for someone that shares my passion for data.  

We are on the lookout for a data-ninja who can come help us keep all the data platforms up to date and build visualisations that are efficient and clear as well as creating lasting data pipelines and infrastructure. You are a natural communicator and enjoy working with different people as a big part of the role is to assist and collaborate with a wide range of people at Hobbii; could be anything from helping with data infrastructure to supporting our Hobsters with setting up a great dashboard.

Hobbii, you say? Tell me more! 

Hobbii is an eCommerce scaleup selling yarn, knitting and crochet accessories to dedicated yarn lovers in 35+ countries. We’re a Danish company with an international outlook and we’ve recently launched a number of physical stores and aim to hit 50 stores within 3 years to supplement our online sales...But don't worry, we don't expect you to be an expert knitter yourself  -  but if you wish, we'll teach you ;-)  

Aim for the sky 

We recently won the 2020 Gazelle award for the fastest growing company in Denmark, which is a proof of all the amazing and ambitious people we have at Hobbii. We are expanding with rocket speed and need some more talented people to help us grow even further. So generally, building something from scratch should excite you rather than terrify you... But don't worry, you won't be doing this alone; in the past year, we welcomed more than 190 people to our team from various backgrounds such as Bonnier, Pleo, GoMore and Google. We have plenty of ideas of how we should grow in the future and we are looking for more talented people to help us with this.  

Oh, and we are moving into a brand new office in Copenhagen city center in July this Summer! We are building it up completely from scratch with the opportunity to make it uniquely ours.  

Sounds like a fun adventure? Then come join us!
