## About the Role

Every Sunday a Cup race is decided by information. You build the software that moves that information: the pipelines that pull data off the car, out of the simulation, and in from the sanctioning body, and the internal apps our engineers open on a race weekend. The ideal candidate will have development experience, with a strong background in system architecture, and competency across the full stack., * BS in Computer Science

 * At least 3 years building software, backend preferred.

What we need

 * Ability to design complex systems at scale
 * Strong with REST APIs, SQL, and S3-style object storage.
 * Python required. Rust or C# a plus. Comfortable with a variety of languages
 * Experience with React or an equivalent frontend framework, along with a basic understanding of UI and HCI concepts
 * Data and plotting libraries: polars, matplotlib, plotly, d3, or their equivalents.
 * Experience with Git version control
 * Attention to detail.
 * Self-starter who can shape key design decisions through research and analysis
 * Strong verbal and written communication of complex systems
 * Desire to work in a fast-paced, quality-driven, collaborative environment
 * Microsoft Azure experience is a plus.

A plus

Prior work in NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula 1, or another professional motorsports organization., You should be proficient in:

 * Professional motorsports
 * REST APIs
 * S-3-style object storage
 * Software building experience
 * SQL
 * Python

Machines & technologies you'll use:

 * Microsoft Azure
 * Plotly

## Description

You inherit a working set of applications, you own them, and you decide what gets built next. You report straight to the Director of Development and Innovation and you will have a direct line to the people setting the technical direction of the race team., * Own the full lifecycle of our internal applications: design, build, deploy, maintain, retire. Some of it alone, some with a small team.

 * Build and maintain the data pipelines that collect, clean, and stage data for automated analysis.
 * Create high-performing applications within the bounds of external constraints, seeking creative and efficient solutions to problems.
 * Ship full-stack internal tools that engineers use on a race weekend, which means they have to be fast, right, and ready by Friday.
 * Run CI/CD and source control. Git, automated tests, repeatable deployments.
 * Research and recommend software, and sometimes hardware to achieve project goals
 * Carry several projects at once and tell people plainly what is shipping and when.
