Ideal Candidates Will Have:

• * Minimum of 4 years' experience in fast-paced, nimble teams building software at scale

• * Ability to solve complex data problems and think of best ways to present these to users.
• * Strong team player with excellent communication skills and high degree of ownership and drive.
