Requirements

  • Strong engineering background, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering or Physics

  • You’re a strong coder. You have deep knowledge of at least one high-level programming language (for example, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.).

  • Embed deeply with strategic customers to understand their business challenges and technical requirements, and provide the insight needed to achieve outstanding results with Fin
  • Work hands-on with customers’ technical teams as a trusted technical expert, coding side-by-side to drive projects through to completion
