Software Engineer II

S&P Global • Cambridge, MA • 2d ago

Kensho is S&P Global's hub for AI innovation and transformation. With expertise in Machine Learning and data discovery, we develop and deploy novel solutions for S&P Global and its customers worldwide. Our solutions help businesses harness the power of data and Artificial Intelligence to innovate and drive progress. Kensho's solutions and research focus on speech recognition, entity linking, document extraction, automated database linking, text classification, natural language processing, and more.

Kensho's Applications group develops the web apps and APIs that deliver Kensho's AI capabilities to our customers. Our teams are small, product-focused, and intent on shipping high-quality code that best leverages our efforts. We're collegial, humble, and inquisitive, and we delight in learning from teammates with backgrounds, skills, and interests different from our own.

At Kensho, we believe in flexibility-first, and give our employees the opportunity to work from where they feel most productive and engaged (must be in the United States). We also value in-person collaboration, so there may be times when travel to one of our Kensho hubs (e.g., Cambridge, MA or NYC) will be required for team meetings or company events.

Kensho states that the anticipated base salary range for the position is 130k-175k. In addition, this role is eligible for an annual incentive bonus and equity plans. At Kensho, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case.

What You'll Do:

Design, develop, test, document, deploy, maintain, and improve software.

Work with key stakeholders to develop system architectures, API specifications, implementation requirements, and complexity estimates.

Test assumptions through instrumentation and prototyping.

Promote ongoing technical development through code reviews and knowledge sharing.

What You'll Need:

At least two years of direct experience developing SaaS applications within a team.

Thoughtful and efficient communication skills (both verbal and written).

Experience developing SaaS application backends and APIs using a variety of tools.

Experience working across many stages of the software development lifecycle.

Experience turning abstract business requirements into concrete technical plans.

Sound reasoning about the behavior and performance of loosely-coupled systems.

Proficiency with algorithms (including time and space complexity analysis), data structures, and software architecture.

Technologies & Tools We Use:

FastAPI, Django, Python, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch

Git, Jsonnet, Jenkins, Docker, Amazon EKS

Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka

Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry

At Kensho, we pride ourselves on providing top-of-market benefits, including:?

?Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance??

100% company paid premiums?

Unlimited Paid Time Off?

26 weeks of 100% paid Parental Leave (paternity and maternity)?
