Rise Interactive (http://www.riseinteractive.com), a rapidly growing full service interactive advertising agency, is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer, focused on Data Management, into the Innovation team.  We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly motivated individual contributor that is excited about joining a new Innovation department and contributing professionally to an entrepreneurial company with an expanding Fortune 500 client base.

 

SUMMARY AND SCOPE

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build out our marketing and analytics platforms.  Our platform processes billions of records today – and we’re just getting started.  This role is not a research or analytical role.  Our goal is a developer who is extremely strong in data science rather than a data scientist with limited coding skills.  This is an individual contributor role that is expected to contribute to production solutions.  This position will develop the entire data pipeline from source to cube/data node.

Responsibilities:

We operate a cross-functional team that specializes when needed but aims to have everyone able to contribute.   Duties of the Senior Software Engineer include:

  • Proactively mentor and guide application developers to improve their quality and simplicity in design and code

  • Design, build and use tools to understand our product platform behavior and performance

  • Design and conduct experiments to test concepts, technologies, and algorithms

  • Implement analytics tools to maximize the value of collected data

  • Implement data tests in our data quality framework to ensure data is clean and accurate

  • Adhere to security policies and guidelines to ensure our data is protected and safe

  • Embrace and assist in evolving our Agile (Scrum) team processes and developer role responsibilities
Required Skills:
    • Smart, high aptitude to learn new things and sense of urgency to get things done

    • Extremely strong programming skills in MS SQL Server Integration Services or similar ETL tool

    • Experience building and accessing data cubes with MS SQL Server Analysis Services, PowerView; exposure/experience with Tableau, D3 or similar data visualization tool a plus

    • Practical experience with Big data, NoSQL technologies such as Hadoop or HDInsight desired

    • Experience working in cloud-only infrastructure, especially Microsoft Azure

    • 4+ years of experience working with large amounts of real data

    • A strong passion for empirical research and answering hard questions

    • Team player – demonstrated experience on a few teams that have shipped a product

    • Professional developer – experienced with source control (Git) and bug tracking

    • Practical-minded – chooses stability/reliability/maintainability over shiny new objects

    • Passionate about technology – ideally you build things outside of work for fun

    • PowerShell and scripting skills – must be totally comfortable at the command line

    • Strongly Desired: Expertise in applied statistics

     

    If you were here this month, you would have

    • Modeled web impression data into usable information

    • Created scripts to manage our cloud environment

    • Sped up an ETL process to make our users happy

    • Visualized machine log data with Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana

    • Tried to get the top pinball score


    Rise is a fast growing company with an expanding list of Fortune 500 clients. We are an equal opportunity employer offering a competitive salary and benefits package, a casual work opportunity, and a tremendous opportunity for growth.  If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, are excited about finding smarter ways to do things and have a strong desire to be a part of winning team, we want to meet you.
