Senior Software Engineer at Quest Groups LLC (Austin, TX)

OVERVIEW

The mission of a Senior Software Engineer is to design and build capabilities that let users visualize and interact with their data to meet their analytical needs. To achieve that mission, Senior Software Engineers are involved in all stages of the product development and deployment lifecycle: idea generation, user interviews, planning, design, prototyping, execution, shipping, and iteration.

You might spend one day interviewing users to suss out the questions they need to ask of their data and the next brainstorming mockups with Product Designers. Then it's time to take on the hard technical problems: figuring out how to make it possible for a user to explore the full range of data, at vast scale, then dive deep to understand each data point at a granular level.
