Company: Amplify Data

Salary: $88,300 - $112,000

Type: Remote

Employment: Full-time

Description:

Here at Amplify, we are on a mission to help every company become a data company. We believe that effective data distribution is the missing key to unlocking the value in data, so we set out to build a user-friendly software platform to help companies create, maintain, and distribute their valuable data products. Today we are a well-funded, seed-stage company backed by premier VCs.

Prior to starting Amplify, we were data and startup leaders who have together successfully scaled a 400 person startup and run a data team at a Fortune 500 company. While we are based in the northeast-US today, we are believers in remote-work. Let’s hear from you!

This role requires you to be versatile and able to build a working knowledge of many technologies, frameworks, and libraries in order to contribute to quick and sound decisions about the best approach to any problem.

Ideal Profile

• At least 3 years within high-performing software engineering teams (startup experience a plus)
• Experience with the following:
  • Python and SQL
  • Creating and scaling web applications using a framework (ideally Django)
  • API creation and maintenance, especially transferring large amounts of data
  • Bonus: experience creating low-fidelity mockups for better coordination with front-end engineering
