We’d love to hear from you if you excel in:

Algorithmic & statistical skills

ETL workloads

You will be part of the Integrations team, developing re-usable solutions that fit key client and partner needs.

Your daily focus? Coding and collaborating with several teams—not just merging code but owning it beyond deployment. We don’t follow strict Agile/Waterfall; we do what matters most, when it matters most.
