The Role
The Company
SimplyAnalytics is a powerful spatial analytics and data visualization application used by thousands of business, marketing, and social science researchers in the United States and Canada. It comes pre-packaged with 200,000+ data variables and allows our users to create maps, charts, tabular reports, and crosstabs. We are passionate about creating outstanding software, and we believe in test driven development, continuous integration, and code review.
As a smaller company, each of our developers has an important role to play - at SimplyAnalytics, you are not just another cog in the wheel, you are an integral member of our team. You will be working on valuable features and making key decisions that impact the direction of the product and our users. In addition, we provide an excellent work-life balance, with 100% remote work, 20 personal days off, flexible work hours, a collaborative work environment, and quarterly “professional development days” to explore and share your interests with the rest of the team.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to process datasets, manage our existing data workflows, develop and maintain ETL pipelines, conduct data related QA, and supervise a team of data developers. You will be creating and maintaining production-quality in-house tools within a large shared code base, and the data you curate will be used by thousands of university students, researchers, and marketing professionals.
We use PHP and Python for development, Postgres/PostGIS for data storage, and Dask and Dagster for data orchestration. We also use modern software development practices such as static typing and analysis, as well as automated testing.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter, has a high level of attention to detail, is comfortable asking questions, enjoys working with talented colleagues, and has an interest in analytics and data visualization.
We are a 100% remote company. Our employees can live and work anywhere in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America. This is a full-time salaried position. When applying, please include a cover letter.
