On an ongoing basis, you'll be responsible for improving the data by adding new sources, coding business rules, and producing new metrics that support the business. Requirements will be vague, and Iterations will be rapid. You will need to be nimble and take smart risks.

You will work with extended teams to evolve solutions continuously as business processes and requirements change. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and you are able to take vague requirements and transform them into solid solutions. You are motivated by solving challenging problems, where creativity is as crucial as your ability to write code.

• A BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience with 3+ years professional experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar role.
• Strong programming skills using Python & Java (Java is good to have).
