Morningstar About The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Analytics Platform team, you will help in leading the design and development of our Platform as a Service (PaaS) called Starflow. You will drive the full life cycle of software development, from feature and archicture design, to coding, testing, peer reviews, and CI/CD. This is all happening on an exciting tech stack of Python, AWS (services like EKS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, ECR, IAM), Kubernets, Docker, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ. Our product Starflow is designed with our users in mind, so a key part of this role will be working closely with our Product Manager and our customers (data scientists, quants, machine learners, etc) to craft a self service platform that makes model/calculation development quicker and easier. Our goal is to help other teams speed up their decision making and time to market. The team follows the Kanban Agile process which allows engineers to have more say on tickets they want to work on, focus on their work and delivering quality code, and remove meaningless scrum delivery dates.
