What's great about being an engineer at Civis?

We staff projects based on what people will learn, not just who knows it best today. Engineers collaborate across departments with our data scientists and analysts who are not only the best and brightest in their fields, but are also eager to teach and learn from you.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2 - 4 years’ professional experience as a software developer/engineer
• Experience developing user interfaces with modern JavaScript frameworks (specifically React)
• Comfort working with SQL databases
• Love of problem-solving
• An ability and eagerness to constantly learn and teach others
• Passion for solving large, complex problems for commercial clients

Preferred Qualifications

• Graduate degree in Computer Science or a related subject

Significant experience with one or more of the following:

• Python, Ruby, and/or Go (golang)

• Automated software testing and continuous integration
• Proficiency working with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
