Software Engineer - Python (Remote)
About The Position
We are looking for a Python Engineer to help us take our data visualization products (see examples here and here!) through the following several enhancements. The role will be responsible for creating and improving front-end visualizations, understanding what the data means, and contributing to designing, building, and improving the data pipelines that feed those products. We use Dash/Plotly for data visualization on our customer-facing products. Dash is a very powerful platform that is quickly developing, and we want to keep up with what's possible and make the best use of it! While visualizations are the primary focus, to take ownership of some of the products, you will also be working on some backend systems (to do with business logic, scaling systems, caching, etc.). Understanding the domain (new visualizations and features) is also critical!
Requirements
- Strong understanding of data visualization principles, algorithms, and data structures.
- At least 1 year of programming experience in Python. Familiarity and experience with Dash/Plotly are a big plus!
- Experience in front-end web technologies (CSS, HTML, bootstrap, etc.)
- Strong communication skills, including the ability and willingness to explain complicated ideas in simple terms.
- Experience with relational databases and strong knowledge of SQL.
- Prior experience working in a fast-paced environment.
- Desire to wear many hats.
Nice To Haves
- Experience writing product code at a SaaS company
Responsibilities
- Help the rest of the data science team productize features by developing a UI that presents the data and recommendations and lets customers play around.
- Work with the customer-facing teams (and join in their calls!) to understand customer's pain points.
- Work with the design team to understand what design improvements can help.
- Build and enhance internal and customer-facing dashboards to track metrics and trends that help customers use PriceLabs more effectively.
- Maintain and improve the framework that helps us embed the Dash/Plotly visualizations into our product.
- Help us speed up the visualization products by improving the backend code (e.g., more efficient code or implementing systems to cache data)
