    • Build, optimize, and support data pipelines, data integrations, and complex queries using BigQuery, SQL, Oracle, or comparable technologies.

    • Develop front-end solutions using JavaScript or TypeScript frameworks and libraries such as Angular, along with HTML and CSS.

    • Deploy and manage cloud-native applications and services on Google Cloud Platform, including services such as Cloud Run and Cloud Functions.

    • Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, infrastructure and deployment processes, and cloud resource management practices.

    • Write clean, secure, maintainable code; debug applications; review pull requests; and contribute to solution design and technical documentation.

    • Identify and remediate code quality issues, vulnerabilities, code smells, and application security findings.

    • Organize and automate release and configuration management activities to improve delivery reliability and repeatability.

    • Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement durable corrective actions.

    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, integrate, and deliver high-quality features and platform enhancements.

    • Contribute within an Agile-Scrum team, manage multiple deliverables, drive process improvements, and continuously evaluate relevant technologies.

    • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a master's degree in a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience.

    • 3+ years of hands-on software development experience using C# and .NET.

    • Experience designing and developing web services, APIs, and cloud-based applications.

    • Working knowledge of front-end development using JavaScript or TypeScript, Angular or a comparable framework, HTML, and CSS.

    • Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases and data engineering concepts.

    • Experience with unit and integration testing, Git-based workflows, and CI/CD technologies.

    • Understanding of secure software development, code quality controls, and vulnerability remediation.

    • Experience working in an Agile-Scrum environment and collaborating across engineering, quantitative, architecture, and business teams.

    • Ability to manage multiple priorities, communicate clearly, document solutions and operating procedures, and drive work to completion.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Experience with Veracode, SonarQube, or similar code quality and security assessment tools.
