Lead Python Developer - Data Engineering (Possible Remote)

The Role: Lead Python Developer

The Team:
Building on our unrivalled coverage of the economic, industry and risk landscape, we enable clients - large and small - to identify growth, plan accurately and navigate uncertainty. We partner with companies to help them identify new trends, size growth opportunities, monitor risk and opportunity ratios, conduct market assessments, plan for alternate scenarios, and secure their business continuity. Our solutions enable clients to better allocate resources, capitalize on change and build an integrated, enterprise-wide approach to economics and risk.

The Impact & What’s in it for you:
As a lead Python developer, you will set a high bar for code quality and architecture decisions for all Python software developed by the Economics and Country Risk Data Engineering team. Successful candidates should have a proven track record of delivering high quality results on projects that have made a meaningful impact. Ideally in the data science, analytics or statistics domain.
