Great company and mission! I'm a cloud and devops expert. As a suggestion, taking advantage of serverless architectures like AWS Lambda could reduce operating costs and increase scalability.

That's a really valuable input, and we are already considering such architectures for our future product development plans, thanks!

Hi dataquest_w20, does this role include any management responsibilities? We have several backup engineers who'd be interested in roles such as Engineering Manager or Senior Technical Lead.

Thank you for reaching out. This role is an individual contributor, but we will keep such a combination in mind as the team continues to grow.

Do you have any plan to support other languages such as Julia, R or Scala? I hope to see your platform expanding in the future.
dataquest_w20 2 years ago next
As of now, we are focusing on Python but may consider expanding our platform to cover other popular data science languages in response to user requests.
