About the job
We are looking for passionate, driven, and team-oriented senior software developer to help push existing and emerging SAS analytics to new heights and frontiers in terms of performance and quality. We are a small passionate team that, at our heart, live for fast-paced problem-solving in any domain but are centered in SAS's advanced analytics division. Granted the freedom to move horizontally across the analytics domain, we work closely with diverse analytic teams, always learning and growing. What makes our team unique is our ability to wear multiple genre hats at the same time. In a sense, we are "tri-lingual," conversant, and comfortable working side-by-side with experts in hardware, software, and analytics simultaneously. This helps us partner with different analytics teams, applying an array of modern performance monitoring tools to better understand and find computational and performance bottlenecks.
Working directly with the analytic routines authors and/or owners, we can quickly learn the underlying mathematics for targeted regions of the algorithm. As a team, we next do deep internal and external searches to better understand what is happening with respect to the targeted hardware device as well as understand existing "work-arounds" used in the community. We then rapidly prototype and stress test new analytic sub-routines that can mitigate, if not eliminate, targeted performance issues, freeing partner teams to work at a higher level. We often work in the murky gap between compilers' current intelligence and the developer's true intention. The scope of what we do can vary on the needs of SAS, sometimes strategically touching only a few key subroutines/lines of code while at other times creating the entire analytic routine itself. Because we must move quickly horizontally across SAS analytic teams, we seek to minimize the legacy code we own ourselves, passing off encoded solutions to other teams who are more vertically oriented. Thus, we strongly adhere to the maxim "fall in love with the problem, not any one solution, including your own."
