Since 2002, our data teams have wrung every bit of information they can from our clients’ data in order to give them the insight they need to make a real difference to their business.
Times and technology have changed, but this remains our goal. Instead of wrangling single, SQL-based databases and ASP.net web applications, our MapR Hadoop platform runs across 200 nodes with multiple clusters and .net APIs and react.js/Angular 1&2 web products plugging in. Our Hybrid on-prem/cloud platform is also coming along nicely.
Our industry-leading partners’ real-world data sets and SAAS product requirements are growing along with their complexity so we need to adapt our ways of working to allow for better CI/CD pipelines, performance, availability and all the rest of the “Devops” buzzwords. We need someone to lead the charge. We’re hoping that’s you.
Our Platform Team have done a wonderful job in providing as much support to our product focused engineering teams, but with some serious infrastructure initiatives underway, they need to focus on that area, while allowing for a team to allow us to deploy at scale.
This role is pivotal for Quantium to deploy and grow its machine learning product capability both in the local market and overseas by enabling effortless operation of the pipelines in hybrid environments.
It’s at this point I’d normally give you an overview of the tech involved. But let’s face it, you know that way better than us. That’s why we’re hiring this role.
Role Details/FAQ:
What is it the I’ll be working on?
We have an initial product environment for you to use as your test bed, to get to know the business and the ways we have been working up to now. You will be embedding with our engineers, data scientists and wider product team to bring a new definition of what an engineering environment looks like from a release perspective.
Q.Refinery is the Quantium flagship offering for the banking vertical, ingesting millions of bank transactions, curating and enriching them using advanced analytical techniques. Our engineering team develops data pipelines leveraging Spark and the BidData ecosystem in order to deliver our analytics capability to our clients, either on premises or in the cloud.
Once you’ve shown what you can do here, you will be given the keys to the kingdom, bringing your knowledge and capability to the wider product engineering environment, building a team and a whole new capability.
Who can I expect to work with?
We work in multi-discipline teams so you’ll be working alongside Data Scientists, Analysts, Testers and platform engineers, depending on the project. For this role, however, you can be expecting to work far wider, influencing thought and direction.
What are we looking for in the ideal candidate?
