LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER
As Tech Lead you will guide the team as leader and support by developing software in Go that extracts financial data from APIs and from multiple online sources. You make sure the team subsequently transforms such data into structured insight stored and maintained in our database and served to customers through our web app and API. Your role is tightly connected to the work of our Data & Insight team consisting of researchers with financial and local domain knowledge that create curated company- and industry analyses on the basis of your code. Besides excellent software engineering skills, you also show aptitude in designing and implementing cloud infrastructure solutions to optimally scale our operations.
Your team
We are a lean tech team with experienced professionals who want to build solutions that are long-lasting and inspire our customers. And because we are substantially scaling there's still plenty of room to have a big impact. In fact, as a founding member of our newly formed 'data' team you will have the opportunity to take a leading role in our expansion.
Who are you?
We are looking for someone who is a true senior software engineer with relevant Go experience to lead our tech team. You love working in a small team without corporate structures and a collegiate working environment; where you can take ownership as the Tech Lead of the (data) team.
