The Role
Lead the design and development of quantitative data engineering models, algorithms, data pipelines, and processing systems on AWS using Python. Build scalable pipelines that ingest, transform, validate, and aggregate large datasets. Develop statistical and machine learning algorithms, optimize performance, evaluate models, create visualizations, and document methodologies. Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable customer-facing quantitative solutions and actionable insights.
Summary Generated by Built In
The Senior Software Developer will be responsible for development of CFRA’s next generation of
quantitative solutions using a modern cloud-native technology stack with Python on AWS cloud
infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to make a big impact on both the team and the
organization by being part of the initial design and development of a new customer-facing
application framework that will serve as the foundation for all future development at CFRA.
The ideal candidate has a passion for solving business problems with technology and can
effectively communicate business and technical needs to stakeholders. We are looking for
candidates that value collaboration with colleagues and having an immediate, tangible impact
for a leading global independent financial insights and data company. The team uses a
contemporary stack in the AWS cloud to design, build, and maintain robust data delivery
pipelines via APIs and Feeds.
