Department/Project Description

Small Teams; Big Data
We look for individuals who are motivated by complex and challenging work. We want to work with people who share compelling solutions to those challenges, solutions informed by their unique experiences, passions, and expertise. We plan to build a Data Platform on top of AWS Ecosystem to port-over some of EMS Legacy applications. We plan to use Scala to build microservices that will provide self-onboarding functionality to our customer and internal users. We, furthermore, plan to build data pipelines on Spark (Scala) and other open-source technologies with the goal of having robust/scalable and resilient data services. The platform will have several User Interfaces built on top of Angular and Typescript to connect the pipelines and services together and provide a optimized user experience. The application/pipelines and microservices we build will run on top of managed Kubernetes.
We're open-minded about new technologies, we're passionate about what we do, and we make time for everyone to learn and grow as the industry changes. Engineers on the team are approachable and ambitious people who think outside the box and together solve big problems. Are you up for the challenge?
