About the job:

We are looking for a strong problem solver who is passionate about working with technology on the Minerva Analytics engineering team. You'll be building performant and maintainable software that is responsible for the continued success of Minerva's daily operations.

You aren't just another cog in the wheel here: your work will actively determine the success of our products. 

A successful candidate will…

• Have experience building performant software in Python.
• Have an understanding of SQL and best practices with data.
• Enjoy solving complex problems and working with our engineering team to solve them. 
• Think about performance, maintainability, and testing throughout an application's design and implementation phases.
• Thrive in a fast paced, data-driven environment.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Github, TravisCI, Docker, or Kubernetes
• Experience in consumer-focused internet businesses
• Expert-level skill with something unrelated to computers (Legos, an instrument, carpentry, precision ax-throwing, anything).
