You are a dedicated software engineer eager to join a talented development team. As an experienced problem solver, you have a strong intuition for approaching engineering challenges and their solutions. A lifelong learner, you actively contribute to elevating the team's overall expertise. You take ownership of projects, driving them from concept through completion, while ensuring each stage meets high standards of quality and performance.

● Develop systems for data profiling, anomaly detection, and automated quality checks.

● Collaborate with Product, Operations, and other Engineering teams to define data source priorities and integration strategies.

● Maintain the overall quality of the software through refactoring where needed, focusing on code performance, security, and scalability.

● We are looking for engineers with a proactive mindset. You have proven experience in identifying and solving complex technical challenges, focusing on creating impactful solutions. You have a demonstrated history of learning and contributing to robust architectures spanning a multitude of systems.

● A passion for clean, maintainable code that adheres to best practices and drives long-term stability. You have strong ownership of your work, with a record of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions that meet deadlines. You strive to stay current with evolving technologies and industry trends.

Nice to Have: 

● Proven experience migrating major application versioning, such as .NET Framework to .NET (Core, 8+), or AngularJs to Angular (15+).
