You will join our engineering team and work closely with the product team, understand the customer needs, and deliver a solution to the customers with high quality.

- Maintain high standards of software quality within the team by establishing good practices and habits;

- Significant experience with an object oriented language (Python, Ruby, C#, Java, etc.);
- Strong understanding of the development lifecycle from planning to testing and deployment;
- Experience building customer facing products and APIs as part of an engineering team;
- Ability to pick up new concepts and ideas rapidly coupled with a continuous learning drive;
- Team-oriented. You are inspired & motivated by the energy & ideas of teammates;
- Results driven. You don’t want to just write code, you want to ship code that is loved by customers;
- Experience with technologies such as Spark, Elasticsearch;
