At Sparkline, we’re not interested in being ‘the smartest guy in the room’!

• Work closely with clients’ engineering teams to integrate your innovations and algorithms into their production systems.
• Take ownership of systems’ up-time, including resolving application, performance, and systems incidents and errors as quickly as possible.
• Support business decisions with ad hoc analysis as needed.

THE PERSON:

You should be a creative problem solver, resourceful in getting things done, and productive when working independently or collaboratively. You should also have the ability to undertake new initiatives to deliver the best work. You will be hands on and technically savvy and have the passion to support varied points of contact internally and externally to achieve success through effective delivery.
