Senior Software Engineer (Data Focus)

The Engineering Team

Our back-end is microservice-based, hosted in AWS, and mainly written in Go. Our front end is based on React and written in Typescript. Our mobile apps are built using Flutter. Our data infrastructure is based on MongoDB, PostgreSQL, S3, Sagemaker, Snowflake, Talend, and mainly written in Python.

We are continuously innovating and always open to new solutions. Because our company is a financial services company, we are obsessive about every aspect of compliance and security. We embrace a DevOps environment where the team is responsible for the full spectrum of development, testing, deployment, and maintenance, including working with product and business operations teams to create customer-focused solutions. Even though we are 100% remote, our company's culture is intensely collaborative.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to play a pivotal role in the future growth of our company. This role will involve back-end system design and coding, with a heavy dose of data engineering and big data– not just ETL/ELT and streaming but also validation, cleaning, de-duplicating, matching, testing, and quality. You will be responsible for delivering polished solutions in collaboration with an agile team of mission-driven and talented front-end and back-end engineers.

You will be working on our core data collection systems for enterprise customers, benefiting millions of people. These products will be key in driving our company's future growth, and your role will be crucial in their development. This will require you to break down problems to their essential components and come up with simple, elegant solutions—always planning for scalability and consistently adopting a customer and product-oriented perspective.

This role will report to the company’s Client Products Engineering Director.
