• We’re looking for engineers who thrive at the intersection of technical execution and customer collaboration. In this role, you’ll succeed if you bring:
• A strong foundation in software engineering, with proficiency in languages like Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript
• Experience working with SQL, including writing efficient queries and optimizing performance
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, authentication methods, and request/response structures
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals such as VPNs, firewalls, IP whitelisting, and SSL/TLS
• Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization tools like Docker or Kubernetes
• Comfort working with common data formats such as JSON, XML, and CSV
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
• Experience being customer facing
• A willingness to travel (25–50%) and work closely with customers onsite
• Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day
