In this role you will build a data science platform that can reliably scale to the needs of our data scientists, algorithms developers, and growing business. You will have the opportunity to help guide decision making and development at all layers of the data platform. This includes choosing and deploying compute infrastructure (e.g. Hadoop, Spark, Redshift), building frameworks designed to speed up and facilitate algorithm development, and developing a micro-service architecture designed to democratize data to everyone in the organization.
We get excited about candidates who have
- an excellent grasp of computer science fundamentals (e.g. MS or PhD in CS).
- exceptional coding and design skills (primarily Python or Java).
- experience designing a micro-service architecture or REST APIs.
- experience developing and deploying on AWS (big plus).
- an innate curiosity to dig into things and understand how they work.
- the ability to write concise and high quality code.
- scrappiness and can thrive on autonomy.
- great communication skills.
- the ability to recognize that simple is sometimes best (Occam was right).
