Platform Engineer

Who You Are

You care deeply about your work and its impact on the work your team does. You hold yourself to a high standard when it comes to writing clean, performant, and maintainable code that powers well-designed microservices and enhances Quantifind’s distributed data platform. You work well with cross-functional teams that include Data Scientists, DevOps Engineers, Front-end Engineers and Product Managers. You are constantly being proactive in finding new ways to improve the design, performance, and testing of the software that you build. You can effectively juggle immediate competing priorities while taking the long view to figure out how to build a bigger and better company and culture. You value the security of a company with a proven business model and enjoy the opportunities a startup offers.

Who We Are

Quantifind helps some of the world’s biggest banks catch money laundering and fraud. Quantifind also works with government agencies to use the same platform to uncover criminal networks and combat election tampering. Unlike other players in this space, Quantifind delivers results as software-as-a-service (SaaS) with consumer-grade user experiences. 

Quantifind is a data science technology company whose AI platform uncovers signals of risk across disparate and unstructured text sources. In financial crimes risk management, Quantifind’s solution uniquely combines internal financial institution data with public domain data to assess risk in the context of Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Fraud Risk Management, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Today these compliance processes are burdened by ever-increasing regulatory responsibilities and an expectation of frictionless transactions. Legacy technologies demand increasingly more human resources as the operations expand; Quantifind’s solution offers a way to cut through the inefficiency and enhance effectiveness simultaneously.  

To help you succeed, we provide a supportive environment that fosters collaboration between teams and team members, where learning and professional growth are considered a key part of your success, and of ours. We offer a flexible work environment with a family friendly work-life balance.

What A Great Candidate Looks Like:

• BS or MS in Computer Science
• Professional software engineer for at least 2 years with a focus on platform engineering
• Professional experience at a software startup strongly preferred
• Technically respected by the other members of the Platform team
• Great communication skills so you can work directly with our Data Scientists, DevOps Engineers, Front-end Engineers and Product Managers
