Contribute across the stack — work from backend APIs to Python analytics services to React frontends, delivering complete features that combine sophisticated data analysis with intuitive user experiences.

Engineer data pipelines at scale — design and operate systems that process massive volumes of ad and survey data with MySQL, DynamoDB, and AWS (S3, Lambda, EMR, Kinesis Firehose).

Improve reliability and performance — deploy services on Kubernetes and AWS, automate deployments via CI/CD, monitor with DataDog and Sentry, and continuously raise the bar for operational excellence

Collaborate deeply — work closely with Product and Data Science to productionize statistical models, integrate advanced analytics into customer-facing tools, and bring cutting-edge AI capabilities to enterprise customers.
