• Foster and strengthen a deep understanding of vast data sources in the cloud and know precisely how, when, and which data to use to solve particular business problems.
• Implement and support critical streams and datasets that support our business, clients, and data scientists.
• Be responsible for solution design and implementation, including data modelling, pipelining, transformation, and orchestration.
• Work with product owners, operations and finance teams, and other data engineers to implement features benefitting Amex GBT and its clients.
• Implement best practices like infrastructure as code, automated testing, and code reviews.

Optional But Desirable Skills

• Experience with full-stack development using JavaScript, React, Java, or Flask for building small scale applications or internal tools.
• Ability to develop and maintain data-centric applications like chatbots or interactive data dashboards, demonstrating integration of front-end and back-end components.
• Familiarity with designing user interfaces and APIs that promote data integrations.

Who You Are

We look for intelligent people with outstanding engineering skills.

• Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Computer science, mathematics, statistics, economics, or other quantitative fields.
• 2+ years of experience as a Software Development Engineer or in a similar role.
• Experience with Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD frameworks in cloud-based environments.
• Demonstrable experience with any programming or scripting language (Python/Java/Scala/Ruby etc.).
• Experience using cloud technologies such as EMR, Lambda, EC2, and data pipelines.
• Exposure to at least one dashboarding tool like Tableau, Power BI, MicroStrategy, etc.
