You care deeply about your work and its impact on the work your team does. You hold yourself to a high standard when it comes to writing clean, performant, and maintainable code that powers well-designed microservices and enhances Quantifind's distributed data platform. You work well with cross-functional teams that include Data Scientists, DevOps Engineers, Front-end Engineers and Product Managers. You are proactive in suggesting how to improve the design, performance, and testing of the software that you build. You can effectively balance near-term priorities with forward-looking ways to build a sustainable team culture. You value the security of a company with a proven business model and enjoy the opportunities a startup offers.

  • Professional experience writing unit tests and automated integration tests
  • You can build microservices with REST APIs for real-time query engines and web crawlers
  • You know how to set up ETL pipelines for data streams
  • Familiarity with storage and caching solutions and the tradeoffs among them (Memcached, Redis, etc.) preferred
  • Solid understanding of concurrency and distributed systems
  • Understanding of algorithm complexity and performance implications
  • Knowledge of Machine Learning techniques preferred
  • Great communication skills so you can work directly with our Data Scientists, DevOps Engineers, Front-end Engineers and Product Managers
  • Professional experience at a software startup strongly preferred
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future
