Associate Data Engineer

What we’re all about.

It isn’t often you get to be part of a tech company that, since 2016, has been innovating the data analytics market in ways no-one else can. Our technology started out in FinTech, helping tackle serious criminal activity. Now, its potential is virtually limitless. Working at Quantexa isn't just intellectually stimulating. We’re a real team. Collaborating and constantly engineering better and better solutions. We’re ambitious, we think things through and we’re on a mission to discover just how far we can go. Nearly half of our colleagues come from an ethnic or religious minority background. We’re made up of people from 47 nationalities who speak over 20 languages. As a diverse mix of individuals, we make one big unstoppable team.

If our incredible culture sounds like you, we’d love you to join us.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be joining the Applications team, which is an Engineering function within Quantexa’s R&D department that is focused on internally building real-world applications of the Quantexa Platform.

This function enables demonstrations of the product and develops SaaS offerings, whilst also testing and refining new Platform features before they are deployed by clients. The function develops and releases its own tools that feed into these internal applications and are also packaged and released to help standardize and accelerate all Quantexa deployments. It encompasses four distinct sub-teams:

Demos:

• Developing, deploying and maintaining all Quantexa demos, showcasing the different use cases for the Quantexa Platform

• Owning the Quantexa Trial platform, for prospective Quantexa clients to see the product in action using real data provided by Data Feeds

SaaS:

• Building Quantexa’s emerging SaaS offering, a cloud hosted, standardized deployment of the Quantexa Platform

• Targeting mid-market banks in the US for Retail AML initially, providing them with a cost-effective Quantexa solution, then expanding in future to more use cases and geographies

• Implementing cutting edge features of the Quantexa Platform ensuring SaaS customers always on the latest and greatest of Quantexa
