Job Qualifications: Not Specified


Are you the one we are looking for?
We are looking for motivated and independent thinking developers. The ideal candidate for us is a quick learner, able to pick up the nuances of a complex domain fast. They are intellectually curious and have done many interesting things, even without being paid to do them.
We are open to candidates with “unconventional tech” backgrounds e.g non technical degrees, self taught developers etc. If you believe that you have serious and relevant skills (despite your unconventional background), and can prove it, we’d like to hear from you. Female candidates are encouraged to apply.
Your lack of work experience (or the converse) will not be a handicap if you can demonstrate possession of the skills we need, a winning attitude, and the ability to learn fast.
Our culture is informal but fast paced. We value rapid feedback, and speak freely, with team members’ input valued the same regardless of their rank. We expect anyone joining us to be comfortable with our pace and the frank style of communication.


How will the recruitment process work?
These positions are open to fresh graduates with limited experience. For that reason, the evaluation process will be rigorous.
• We’ll send you a standardized data engineering challenge as soon as you are shortlisted. When you are ready (within two weeks of being shortlisted), you’ll be invited to present your solution and approach. This challenge is short and will be performed on a non-production setup.
• There will be an in-person or online interview during which you will be expected to present and discuss your solution. We will focus in particular on:
o general problem solving skills
o ETL/ELT
o data modelling
o monitoring of the data pipelines
o documentation
o testing
• Traditional reference checks etc will occur after this stage. Candidates who get past this will go into an induction program - focused on teaching them our domain and the nitty-gritty of our technical stack.
