Python Developer (Closed)

SkillStorm is seeking a Python Developer for our client in Charlotte, NC. Candidates must be able to work on SkillStorm's W2; not a C2C position. EOE, including disability/vets.

Job Description:

• Global Risk Analytics (GRA) technology group within our Client is looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to join our growing team. We are building the next generation platform for model development and execution for our business partners. The vision for this platform is to provide generic capabilities to author workflows that will run model execution and related processes at scale on our internal compute grid. The platform is meant to provide a high degree of abstraction where model developers will define the data they want to bring in, the processing of the data, and the results, all via generic constructs provided by the platform. The platform is envisioned to be actually agnostic to its usage. While model development teams will use the platform to execute models and related processes, the platform itself will be unaware of any specific use case.
• This is a hand on, individual contributor role in which the Software Engineer will be focused on developing foundational components of this platform, with a generic, modular implementation. The ideal candidate will have strong experience and background in writing full applications and application frameworks using python. This is an exciting opportunity that will exercise the programming mettle of the most skilled Software Engineer.
