## Description

* Technical ownership. Build and ship features across our SaaS platform, writing clean, tested, well-documented code that our customers and internal teams rely on. You'll take real tickets from day one and own them from design through deployment.
 * Growth with support. Work alongside senior engineers who invest in your development through code reviews, pairing, and mentorship, so your technical skills grow with every sprint you ship.
 * Engineering excellence. Help keep our codebase healthy by writing unit and integration tests, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, triaging bugs, and improving the reliability and performance of the systems that power our analytics products.
 * Collaborative partnership. Work closely with product managers, data scientists, and fellow engineers to turn ideas into working software, and be a dependable voice in standups, design discussions, and cross-functional projects.

Key Responsibilities

 * Design and write clean, scalable, production code (our backend team primarily works in Python, SQL, SAS, and C#; our frontend team works in React).

 * Refactor code for improved performance, stability, and scalability.

 * Develop automatic tests.

 * Work with our team of analysts and data scientists to integrate,
generalize, and prototype mathematical and data science models within production software.

 * Communicate clearly and effectively (orally and in writing) with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

 * The software development team follows an agile scrum process, and all team members are expected to contribute to technical design reviews, implementation strategies, operational system support, and sprint planning.
