What you’ll be doing:

• Using your advanced programming skills and the ability to design, develop and test programs for custom tool development
• Supporting analytics releases to ensure they are quickly and accurately put into production
• Enhancing Enova’s real-time decisioning platform by adding new functionalities
• Providing operational support for the various custom tools used by our Analytics team
• Coordinating with Software Engineers and serving as the liaison to them on behalf of the Analytics team
• Manage a small team of engineers 

We’re excited about you if you have:

• Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related degree or equivalent experience
• 3+ year experience providing operational support for high-availability low-latency production applications in both on-premise and cloud environments
• Advanced programming skills and the ability to design, develop and test customized tools. Knowledge of either Python, Go, or Ruby is preferred.
• Experience working with Git, CircleCI, Terraform or equivalent deployment infrastructure tools
• Knowledge of AWS technologies (S3, Lambdas, EC2)

• Ability to practice software development best practices
• Ability to work with product managers to translate stakeholder requirements
• Familiarity with regression and machine learning techniques is a plus

About the Analytics team:

We live and breathe data at Enova, and our 100+ person Analytics team is at the heart of it all. They use cutting-edge machine learning and advanced modeling techniques to drive business value in a number of different ways. Depending on the team, that could mean building a state-of-the-art credit risk model; it could mean spotting patterns in data that indicate fraud; it could mean researching a brand new type of algorithm we’ve never even used before. Whatever it is, it’ll typically be used to make real-time decisions on our website. What makes us different from Analytics teams elsewhere? We’re language agnostic here which means YOU get to pick the tool that works best for you and the analysis at hand. The team primarily uses Python, R, SAS, and SQL but if you think another tool is right for your project, go for it.
