  • Develop internal tools that will be used by the support, reserach and engineering teams.

  • Develop and maintain cloud infrastructure in partnership with senior engineers.

  • Create code that is maintainable, testable, and observable.

  • Maintain and advocate for development standards.

This is a remote job and available to all candidates with work privileges in their country of residence.

  • Experience with SQL and common relational database systems

  • Experience with debugging and data flow optimization skills

  • Experience working in AWS or other cloud environment

  • Have reliable home internet
  • Can work a schedule that generally overlaps with a typical US East Coast work day (9am - 5pm GMT-5)
  • Select your country of residence from the dropdown menu. We are open to talent globally, provided you hold valid work authorization in that country (and will not need company sponsorship to maintain it).

For international roles, Datapeople partners with local Employer of Record (EOR) entities to manage consulting pay (and salary/benefits for full-time conversions). Benefits are country-specific but generally include medical, vision, and dental insurance, mental health support, and more.

Actual compensation is determined by many factors including candidate experience and skills; location/market; and business needs.

We care deeply about fairness (it's our mission) so you can be ensured that your application will never be judged based on your religious belief, age, color, race, creed, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, ethnic origin, family status or disability. #LI-Remote
