Programmer Analyst - Data
Irvine, CA

Job Description

At TGS, data and operations are a core part of our business and programmer analysts are among our most valued resources. This role is mission critical, so we're searching for an uncommonly reliable professional who enjoys coding, working with and analyzing data, and providing support for production systems. In addition to programming and data analysis, this position is likely to involve interaction with external resources such as data providers, brokers, dealers, and software vendors.

Successful candidates will have experience in a number of the following general areas:

* Programming: strong experience with Python, Java, SQL, and/or similar languages
* Large data sets: experience developing programs to parse, process, clean, organize, and analyze large data sets
* Applications: experience designing, developing, and maintaining software applications
* Vendor interaction: working with external resources to solve problems, acquire data, and improve relationships.
* System tools: experience with scripting languages (Perl, Python, shell scripts, etc.), and Unix-based operating systems (especially Linux)
