About the project

• A rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Software Engineer with Python skills to join the exceptional Enterprise Data Technology Team at a fast-growing, global investment company that recently opened its new office in Warsaw – the first in Poland.
• The Senior Software Engineer will be a key member of a focused enterprise team working to create the Enterprise data platform that data analysts, data scientists, quantitative investors, and researchers can rely on for sourcing investment and reference data sets. The platform’s cloud-native ecosystem includes Dockerized ingestion pipelines running in Kubernetes, RESTful access APIs, a web-based data exploration environment, and downstream client libraries compatible with several languages.
• The ideal candidate is obsessed with creating high quality software, loves working with data in all its myriad forms, enjoys thinking and debating about the best solutions to complex problems, and can push forward and get things done. If you’re a full-stack developer who gets excited by the prospect of wrapping your mind around a different problem each day, we’d love to chat with you.
