  • Highly proficient in Spark, SQL, Python (will be tested)

  • Be able to travel to one of our warehouse locations 2-3 times per year

  • BS (or higher, e.g., MS, or PhD) in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or mathematics), or equivalent technical experience

  • Authorized to work in the United States for any employer

  • Preferred: Experience setting up ML environments for data science experiments

  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas at this time.
