О компании и продукте

• We're looking for a Senior Database Engineer experienced with MySQL to join a focused remediation program on a long-running production platform serving a global financial news and data client.

• The ability to get up to speed quickly in an unfamiliar environment is critical. You'll be working with systems you didn't build, under a defined remediation plan, and expected to deliver with a high degree of autonomy.
• We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating. Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive
