About the Role and Team

Success in this role requires comfort working within these constraints and the resourcefulness to solve problems using available documentation, data dictionaries, and direct inspection of the data.
Our codebases span multiple languages and platforms and are actively evolving. We value team members who bring informed perspectives on how code should be organized and maintained, while recognizing that pragmatic tradeoffs are part of working in a production analytics environment.
