Join ShakersShakers for expert talent
Projects where your analytical judgement decides: which KPI answers the business question and how it reads. Shakers connects you with companies that need to decide with data, aligned with your stack and availability.
The role reads in two places: a bootcamp syllabus and the job ad asking for "3+ years" of crossing spreadsheets. Neither tells you how to decide what gets measured per project, engagement by engagement. Here is that.

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Join ShakersA data analyst turns the data a company already measures into answers for deciding: cleaning and querying with SQL and Excel, crossing sources, building dashboards and communicating what the business should do with each figure. Unlike the data scientist, they train no models to predict: they explain what happened with data others prepare. And they consume the pipelines and warehouse the data engineer builds.
You decide which question each metric answers: the SQL query that calculates it, the cleaning that makes it reliable and the dashboard where it lives. You also decide what the report refuses to say: a KPI without a clear definition does not go in. The pipeline is not yours: you consume it, and you flag heavy transformation at kickoff.

Shakers is hiring infrastructure: the project arrives with the question the company needs answered and its data, not a list of technologies.
You deliver the dashboard and the why of each metric, including the one you dropped and the reason it stays out.
You set the refresh, what happens if a source fails and who answers for the number the day someone disputes it.
Having measured real processes with SQL and Power BI and being able to tell which KPI failed, and what you did when data contradicted you.
Choosing the tool for the question, not for fashion. Sometimes the honest answer is a spreadsheet, and saying so.
You consume the pipeline; you don't build it. If the project needs moving data at scale, you say so at kickoff and don't absorb it.
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
The query crossing sales with operations, the KPI nobody knew how to calculate and the dashboard that gets abandoned if it answers nothing. Fewer school theories, more traceable decisions.
Power BI and Tableau lead delivery; SQL and Excel remain the floor: the delivery tool follows the client's ecosystem.
Tools are learned fast; judgement is not. Which metric goes in, which stays out and why: that is earned with real deliveries, and it is exactly what our certification measures.
The frequent door is advanced Excel turning into SQL, and SQL ending in dashboards. Another comes from finance: whoever crossed the numbers for a year knows the data better than anyone.
Four roles from the collective cross your path on an analysis project, from the one building the source to the one predicting with it.
Where your reporting ends up explaining what happened, theirs starts predicting what comes next on the same data.
Builds the pipelines and the warehouse you consume: when data doesn't arrive, your KPI stalls and so does the engagement.
When the report needs a model that holds on its own, the BI Developer designs the semantic one and you feed it.
Their APIs and databases are the origin of everything you measure: when the source is wrong, the dashboard lies.
The boundaries between these roles are agreed on each project: the title does not set them.
