Head of Engineering

Tasman is pioneering Data Analytics-as-a-Service, transforming disorganised data into business value since 2017. As a bootstrapped agency with 20 people across London and Amsterdam offices, we serve ambitious European clients including The Earthshot Prize, Verisure, Paired, Ecosia, Asana Rebel, Kaia Health, and Pensionbee—all seeking data-driven decision making and improved business outcomes.

We deliver through three pillars :

• Insights (metrics that matter with reliable reporting and self-service tools), and
• People (training teams and building foundations for long-term success).

Your strategic vision will guide capability growth, keeping Tasman at the forefront through new technologies and methodologies, particularly LLM / GenAI integration across all delivery aspects.
