This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters are located) or anywhere in the US, including in any of our US offices listed above.

We currently have 90+ Data team members in our Investor and Data Feeds businesses who create and maintain our data products, and we are looking to further expand the team to continue to increase our product portfolio. Those with strong analytical skills are encouraged to apply.

• Improve our products, data pipelines, or data feeds by developing entirely new methodologies and features for our products, exploring and scaling use across the data team of new third-party datasets, or creating new modules to make our raw feeds data experience better. We value self-improvement and experimentation and expect you to enhance the products, pipelines, or data feeds that you own.
