What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree (recent grad or up to ~2 years of experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, basic system design
  • Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language (Python, Java, Scala, or Go) and working knowledge of SQL
  • Coursework, academic projects, or internship experience involving data pipelines, backend services, or applied software systems
  • Exposure to distributed data processing concepts (Spark, Hive, or similar) is a plus, not required
  • Basic understanding of A/B testing and experimental design principles
