- Data Scavenging: Design and implement crawlers and API consumers that interface with diverse external systems.
- Dev On-Call: Participate in a shared on-call rotation. You’ll monitor system health, respond to alerts, and perform "surgery" on production issues when things go sideways.
- Quality First: Always looking for ways to improve and ensure the quality of our data.
- Mentorship: Lead by example in code reviews and architectural discussions, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
Benefits
- Strong extended health benefits: Health & Prescription coverage, vision and dental care, virtual health care, out-of-country medical coverage
