- Proven ability to build data solutions that are reusable and modular, rather than one-off scripts.
- Experience treating data as software by implementing unit testing, CI/CD, comprehensive documentation, and SLA monitoring.
- Ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex errors or issues within distributed systems (Spark/Databricks).
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
Special Knowledge (Nice to Have, But Not Required)

Working at DriveWealth
We do our best work when we’re in the same room. To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York and Chicago teams work in-office 4 days a week.

We also offer full insurance coverage, a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous PTO, observed holidays, and extended leave.
