We need a Sr. backend engineer excited by multifaceted data challenges, and with the ability to design, build, and deploy stable and scalable production software.

We are looking for a self-starter; you'll spend your time building reliable backend services and solving complex data processing problems. We would like you to have:

• 5+ years professional experience as backend or data engineer
• Very strong skills experience with modern Python (3.8+), MongoDB (particularly 4.2+), and MySQL or MariaDB
• Significant experience with AWS services, operations and architecture, especially with respect to data heavy applications
• Spent time building and managing ETL pipelines

Not all of these are required, but ideally you have experience with

• Typescript / ES (Node)

• Docker & Kubernetes
• Terraform
• Solid understanding of modern security practices

Some nice to haves

• You have worked with, reconciled and normalized disparate data sets

• Interest in machine learning, and experience building ML-driven or algorithmic data products
• Some exposure to product analytics data pipelines and basic understanding of AB testing

Finally

We are a distributed team headquartered in Boston, with an office in Nashville, TN. However, our culture allows flexibility as to when, where and how you work best – and actively employ and support remote engineers.

Benefits include:
