Senior Associate, Software Engineer

What we do We are looking for a Software Engineer to join Bain’s Advanced Analytics Group (AAG). As part of AAG, you will work with other members of AAG, Bain Generalist Consultants and our AAG Factory team to build robust software solutions that interact with our Data Science and Machine Learning models to serve our clients’ needs. We achieve this in two distinct ways: - Working with consulting teams on short-term projects which involve developing software solutions - Developing and maintaining long-lasting products that support internal or clients’ needs At Bain, we work with leading companies innovating with data, often involving building digital products. Many times, in the early stages of experimentation, we have to develop immature digital products as proofs of concept. Those can go from deploying a micro service with a predictive model, to quickly implementing a new component and A/B testing on a production app with millions of users. When any of those tests show potential value, we need to scale them up and help the team capture that unlocked value. Sometimes, this means transforming an immature digital product into a stable, usable, and resilient one that delivers a great UX. For all that, we are searching for innovative and fresh minds that want to join us to create elegant yet practical solutions to deal with the most challenging problems. Who we are looking for We are not looking for an expert on a certain programming language or a specific technology. Instead, we are seeking people who have strong Software Engineering experience and feel comfortable moving through different types of projects. Maybe you have already worked with some specific backend framework, and you rule with that, but we need and want you to be able to learn new things as you move forward. We want you to think that learning something new is a fun challenge rather than a chore. **What we expect from you is to**: - Enjoy learning new programming languages - Have experience with some web frontend framework - Use Git as your main tool for versioning and collaborating - Deploy in GCP or AWS - Coordinate with Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers - Have 2 or more years of experience We are interested in you working with a multidisciplinary team where there are other roles who code and for you to be a reference regarding software engineering. Also, we need you to feel comfortable at every stage of a project: whether you are putting together a prototype of a crazy idea (that we don’t know what it’s going to evolve into), building production software or taking charge, of the continuous improvement of an ongoing product. About us At Bain we say "Champion the bold to achieve the extraordinary". In the Advanced Analytics Group we deeply embody that statement; we put remarkable data innovators in front of the world's toughest challenges, delivering impact that goes way beyond businesses. By doing that, we aim to challenge the status quo and redefine the domains in which we work. We are building the most influential data innovation hub in South America. We are looking for creative yet courageous professionals like you to play a key role in helping us pursue this endeavor. What can you expect from us? **We are people centered and team players**: we want to provide an awesome environment to work and grow. An environment where we care about people, our wellbeing and a healthy and vibrant long term development. We believe in a place where autonomy is at the core, and where servant leadership provides direction, guidance and motivation, enabling the best version of each of us so we can build teams based on trust and where we help others shine. **We deliver positive impact and challenge the status quo**: we are obsessed with unleashing our clients’ full potential by developing quick and dirty data products that evolve fast through agile experimentation. We design a vision not conquered yet, and we only seek to make it a reality and bring true impact to the domains we work on. Be it a very complex operational mining process, an NGO’s educational challenge, a retailer’s e-commerce, or a climate change endeavor, we bring state-of-the-art advanced analytics techniques to create new superior realities for our clients. **We are playful and seek for uniqueness**: complex problems require thinking out-of-the-box, giving room to challenging ideas and points of view. How we enable that? By nurturing creativity and having fun exploring novel paths and promoting curiosity and learning in empowered teams that take seriously their instincts and passions. We’ve seen over and over again that this never-ending learning philosophy make us better and stronger, broaden our capability range and enlighten our version in the future to tackle challenges that we haven’t seen before. **We’d love if**: - You are a curious person. - You are obsessed by learning new things, tackling new problems and being constantly challen
