  • Grow the technical expertise of the team
  • Stay current on industry trends in the data science, exploration, visualization, dashboards, and insights space and serve as an evangelist for these environments internally and externally

Who you are:

  • You thrive when developing great people, not just great products
  • Have experience in cultivating a strong engineering culture in an agile environment
  • Have several years of experience as an engineer and are well versed in Java and/or Python

  • You have experience collaborating with product, design, and insights towards great outcomes
  • You’re familiar with the industry trends and keep up with the latest product offerings, and can understand trade-offs of existing solutions

Where you'll be:

  • We are a distributed workforce enabling our band members to find a work mode that is best for them!
  • Where in the world? For this role, it can be within the Americas region in which we have a work location and is within working hours.
