About the role

You will play a crucial role in building and maintaining the server-side logic of our platform. You will work closely with our data engineering team to develop scalable software solutions.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is passionate about good engineering, getting things done, and developing a good product. Your input will be valued, and you will play a significant role in building and transforming the client’s wealth management platform using these technologies.

About the project

The client is a famous venture capital firm running the fund using Salesforce as the master data repository and Google Drive for document storage. Ranging from Excel to external commercial tools and custom-built user-facing apps, different departments use multiple siloed systems for data management.

The major challenge is the suboptimal time to make the final decision as analysts can't rely on the existing data due to possible human errors and complicated data management. The solution is to build a unified data platform that will be integrated with Salesforce and other existing systems to efficiently transform financial, legal, and ops data to data marts that are ready for interaction and comprehensive visualization with BI tools on web and mobile platforms.
