The Job
With the deep scientific roots of Mind Gym, data has always been essential part in every aspect of our business. In order to advance our capabilities, in 2020 we have established a dedicated data function within the larger technology department. Since then, we have have built a team with competences in state-of-the-art statistical methods, machine learning techniques and data engineering practices. Our highly skilled data engineers, data scientists and data analysts help transform the business.
We deploy the right tool for the right job with a mix of Python and R. Our code is packaged, dockerized and orchestrated with Argo on top of Kubernetes. All primary data feeds flow into our data lake. Versioned downsteam outputs are archived on cloud storage and served via APIs, via code-based dashboards or delivered to our data warehouse. Our underlying infrastructure stack is on AWS, with Terraform. We follow DataOps principles and setup CI/CD with Github actions to automate everything. The wider engineering platform is AWS Serverless based alongside a modern DevOps stack.
Our ways of working of our team are designed for responsiveness to change and focused on fast delivery to production. Work is decomposed in as way to reduce dependencies and removing frictions and blockers.
As a part of the team, you should expect to be having fun, to be learning continuously and to be productive. The rest is means to an end and thus negotiable.
