Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain systems across all parts of our platform, from high-volume data collection, enrichment and automated analysis, through to backend services and RESTful APIs
- Work with Product Management and our commercial organizations to understand the needs of the market and our customers and how they they translate into solutions
- Devising innovative solutions to complex technical problems and making design decisions in line with our technical strategy and high standards
- Contributing to the ongoing improvement of the way we work
- Sharing your knowledge and mentoring others in your areas of expertise
Requirements:
- Degree in Computer Science, or Software Engineering (or equivalent)
- You have deep experience building enterprise-grade software with several languages such as Java, C#, F#, Scala, C++ or Python.
- You have flexibility and passion for evolving projects and innovating new products, in an environment with lightweight agile processes
- You are familiar with building systems that efficiently scale with very large data volumes
- You write clean, maintainable code and you pay attention to details and edge cases
- You know SQL and how to integrate with and use a range of data technologies
