Description
Who You Are
Quantifind is seeking a Software Engineer for our Platform team to help define and deliver data services and machine learning infrastructure. The Platform team owns all the infrastructure that powers the SaaS products we build for our customers. We process terabytes of data each day on our own dedicated Hadoop clusters. We use real-time data services to enable interactive investigations in our web applications. We use Kubernetes and Docker for our container ecosystem, and we develop standalone services in Scala and Python and use Spark for MapReduce jobs.
You care deeply about your work and its impact on the work your team does. You hold yourself to a high standard when it comes to writing clean, performant, and maintainable code that powers well-designed microservices and enhances Quantifind’s distributed data platform. You work well with cross-functional teams that include Data Scientists, DevOps Engineers, Front-end Engineers and Product Managers. You are proactive in suggesting how to improve the design, performance, and testing of the software that you build. You can effectively balance near-term priorities with forward-looking ways to build a sustainable team culture. You value the security of a company with a proven business model and enjoy the opportunities a startup offers.
