  • Excelled in cross-functional teams, working fluidly with Product Managers, Software Developers and Data Scientists
  • Experience building and maintaining systems leveraging complex modelling and data at scale

BENEFITS:

  • Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and stock options
  • Dynamic and entrepreneurial team where pushing limits is everyday business
  • 100% employer paid medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance plans
  • Access to a 401k (US) or Retirement Savings Plan (Canada)
