Job description

We are looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join a technology-focused firm that develops proprietary mathematical algorithms and automated software systems for forecasting price movements in global commodity markets, including crude oil.

This position is a strong fit for a software engineer with a Python-first background and an interest in data. While the role has a data-focused component, the ideal candidate will still be a hands‑on software engineer with experience building and supporting web applications. This is not a pure data science or data analyst position.

The engineering team works with modern, cloud-based technologies and is involved throughout the development process, from building new applications and services to deployment and ongoing improvements.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain full-stack web applications and backend services using Python
• Develop software that supports data-driven applications, mathematical models, and forecasting systems
• Work with AWS and other cloud-native technologies
• Build and maintain scalable applications and supporting infrastructure
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and infrastructure-as-code
• Participate in system design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance
• Work closely with other engineers to solve technical problems and improve existing systems
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code

Technology Environment

• Language: Python
• Development: Full-stack web development
• Cloud: AWS
• Infrastructure: Kubernetes
• CI/CD: Automated build and deployment pipelines
• Infrastructure: Infrastructure-as-code tools
• Data: Data-intensive applications and analytics systems

Requirements

• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Professional experience developing software with Python
• Experience building web applications or full-stack software
• Understanding of both backend and frontend development
• Experience working with data-driven applications or systems
• Familiarity with cloud-based development environments
• Experience with Git, CI/CD, and automated testing
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Ability to work effectively with a technical team

Education & Experience

The team is open to candidates at all experience levels.

Entry-level candidates should hold an MS in Computer Science or Data Science. Candidates with professional software engineering experience will be considered based on their overall technical background.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AWS
• Kubernetes experience
• Infrastructure-as-code experience
• Experience working with data-intensive applications
• Background in quantitative, mathematical, or forecasting systems
• Experience with automated CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working across both frontend and backend development

Working Conditions

This is an onsite position in Wilmington, NC, five days per week.

Salary Range: $80,000-$150,000
