What they look for

Postings ask for ownership more than any one skill. They want a self-starter who takes a problem from start to finish. Most Postings also ask for clear communication, and the ability to explain technical topics to people who are not technical. A few Postings say that you do not need to meet every requirement.

Data roles ask for SQL and Python. The Data Engineer Posting names Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, Airflow, and dbt. The Senior Data Scientist Posting asks for a STEM degree or equal experience, and for hands-on work with deep learning, graph, or sequence models. The Engineering Manager Posting asks for coding experience with Python and Ruby on Rails, and with JavaScript and React. The Site Reliability Engineer Posting asks for one programming language, Terraform, AWS or GCP, containers, and fluent English.

Customer-facing technical roles ask for knowledge of APIs and experience with payment integrations. Operations roles ask for attention to detail and good written English. One customer operations role asks for fluent French. Experience in payments, fintech, or fraud is a plus in many Postings. Each Posting gives a base salary range.
