Senior Software Engineer GE Open Source

This is an exciting time at Superconductive: we are constantly adding new capabilities to our open source product that are redefining how Data Engineers approach data quality. With each new capability we are focused on ensuring it is easy to use, well documented, and invites community contributions to enhance or extend what we are building. These new capabilities are also enriching our SaaS product: a hosted solution with easy configuration and improved collaboration built on top of our open source core. With Great Expectations, teams can efficiently profile data, create and monitor data quality tests, and build shared dashboarding and monitoring capabilities for their organization's data quality.

You will be expected to:

• Develop new features for Great Expectations, following best practices for project management and writing clear, efficient code.
• Take initiative; identify and plan opportunities to improve Great Expectations, informed by community feedback, your own observations, and your colleagues
• Support and develop other software engineers through coaching and mentorship
• Tackle bug fixes and user submitted GitHub issues, as well as respond to and manage community PRs in partnership with our developer relations team
• Produce clear documentation of features for external users, both in code and for our docs site, in partnership with our documentation team
• Work as part of a growing, all-remote team that is passionate about building great software
• Work confidently in Python, and interact with a variety of data systems and testing tools, improving the codebase to ensure it is clear and easily approachable for external collaborators

As part of Superconductive, you will also have opportunities to support the community and evangelize Great Expectations through conference talks, workshops, and blog posts, if you'd like.
