• Architect code changes to improve performance, maintainability, or extensibility as needed.
• Work with the team to establish software engineering best practices, including coding standards, code reviews and other standard techniques.
• Work with the data team to improve data interfaces between the models and the data layer.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, quantitative sciences, or mathematics; alternatively significant practical software project experience.
• 5+ years of meaningful Python project experience, with code complex enough to require modular or object‑oriented Python code.
