We are looking for candidates who enjoy a collaborative and academic environment where we develop and share new skills, mentor, and contribute knowledge and software back to the analytics and engineering communities both within Nike and at-large.

We value and nurture our culture by seeking to always be collaborative, intellectually curious, fun, open, and diverse.

WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH

In this role, you’ll be working closely with the rest of our global team, along with commercial and consumer analytics, and enterprise architecture teams.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or combination of relevant education, experience

  • Expertise with technologies like Spark, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, Databricks, Terraform is also highly desirable
  • Effective communication skills (with team members, the business, and in code)
