  • Work cross-functionally to define problem statements, collect data, build analytical models and make recommendations to drive change and optimization at the most strategic levels
  • Partner across Infra: such as platform teams, operations, networking planning, data center planning as well as Product and Finance teams to find the most optimal ways to scale our Infrastructure

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of experience in performance or software engineering and/or optimization pertinent data science or equivalent practical experience

  • 4+ years of experience in coding/scripting languages such as Python, R, Java, C, C++, PHP
  • 4+ years of experience with LP solvers such as Xpress or Gurobi
  • Experience working with distributed systems at scale
