Role
Who you are
- A well-rounded engineer. You have 3+ years of professional programming experience with Apache Spark, Scala, Java, R, or Python. You are able to write thought-out code while accounting for resource and performance constraints and are also capable of performing ad-hoc data investigations with SQL
- Interested and experienced in both engineering and finance. You're looking to grow your skills in both disciplines and are excited about the synergies between finance and technology. You’re capable of understanding how investors evaluate loan portfolios and the complexities of amortization, prepay, and default
- A first-rate collaborator and communicator. You’re comfortable working alongside analysts and subject matter experts and translating their requirements into code. You thrive on interacting with clients to best understand and satisfy their needs
- Excited about big data. You should have 2+ years of professional engineering experience working with large datasets, with exposure to large datasets related to loan products an added plus
- You enjoy working with data, from expressing complex business logic as scalable data processing logic to configuring and debugging intricate big data pipelines
- You love the intricate details of a thorough investigation, but also stay aware of the bigger picture while operating across multiple threads of work
What the job involves
- Be at the heart of dv01. You will operate as the bridge between the engineering and finance teams, contributing to a variety of integral processes that drive dv01 on a daily basis. Every new dataset that gets integrated within dv01 will have your fingerprints all over it
- Be an owner of dv01's most valuable asset. You'll own the business logic in our data pipeline, encapsulating all the knowledge we've accumulated across hundreds of datasets. The output from the pipeline powers all of dv01's customer offerings and is critical to the success of our business
- Be customer-facing. You will have direct exposure to high-level contacts at hedge funds, banks, and asset originators, providing valuable insights to help them answer complex questions
- Work with state-of-the-art technology. You'll work with popular, modern, and exciting open source technologies like Apache Spark and Airflow. The skills you develop here will serve you well beyond dv01
Our take
Analyzing and utilizing huge data sets is a laborious process for investors and the consumer lending industry. Sifting through databases with tens of thousands of cells is already tedious, and the analysis of international data through archaic technology presents further complications.
dv01 believes these challenges have the potential to result in a financial endemic. It aims to solve it through end-to-end data management, reporting, and analytic solutions designed bespoke for mortgage and consumer lending markets.
Whilst there are competitors offering similar, individual services in this space, dv01 stands out by providing an end-to-end platform. This has been successful in attracting over 400 companies including Redwood Trust, Lending Club, and Western Asset, and has now seen the company be acquired by Fitch Solutions.
