Who We’re Seeking:

Omaze's Data Science team is looking for an outstanding Data Science Engineer to help us architect and implement key systems, technologies, and tests. We have unique customers, interesting problems, and scale. We’re growing. And we’re looking for great people.

Data Science was one of the earliest teams at Omaze. We approach experimentation, testing, and learning very seriously. Our Data Science Engineers are broad, not narrow. You’ve got experience on both the front and back-end; you’re fluent in All Things AWS™®; you enjoy building scalable systems that easily sling terabytes hither and yon. And you’re great at constructing smart UI tests, so we know our customer experience is as strong as possible.

The successful candidate will be:

Full-Stack. You have experience working on both back-end and front-end systems.

Experienced. You’ve built enough stuff to tell the good from the bad (and are immune to Second System Syndrome).

Accountable. You’re great at driving projects from inception to ship.

Cross-Functional. You’re super-comfortable working across the organization to gather requirements, take feedback, and ensure you’re building the right things.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architecture: Propose and implement innovative designs to enhance our existing data science infrastructure.
  • Testing: Design and build appropriate front-end implementations to prove or disprove a testing hypothesis.
  • Performance: Maintain highly responsive, high-availability systems by ensuring code quality, stability and scalability.
  • Delivery: Write well designed, testable and reliable code.

Our Ideal Candidate:

  • You have 5 - 7 years professional software experience, and good familiarity with Python, Angular, SQL, pandas, Javascript, HTML/CSS.
  • You're familiar with functional programming languages and have experience writing code in at least one of them.
  • You’ve build customer-facing UI that has been used by large populations of people.
  • You understand A/B testing: how to design experiments, and how to evaluate them.
  • You are great at query optimization on relational (MySQL) and non-relational databases.
  • You have experience with the AWS suite of technologies (Lambda, RedShift, RDS, EMR, Kinesis, S3, etc.).
  • You have experience with Hadoop, Hive, Spark, Redis, and ElasticSearch.
  • You're great with distributed systems and Internet protocols.
  • You're comfortable in Unix environment and aren't afraid of Vim

To Apply:

Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you would be an ideal fit. Include your dream Omaze experience and which cause it would benefit.
