Software Engineer - Data Analytics

RISE is on a mission to accelerate internet for the Philippines by providing excellent services and high-quality support to our business and wholesale partners. We focus on the efficiency of connectivity through initiatives like GetaFIX and Open Access Network, ensuring we maintain a benchmark for reliability and installation speed. Our culture is built on transparency and ownership, where team members are encouraged to exceed expectations and advance the country’s digital landscape together.

As a Data Engineer, you will help us build our information system, which is used by our staff globally. The RISE mission is to accelerate the internet for the Philippines—we do this by focusing on the overall customer experience, providing excellent internet services and creating a positive impact on our partners and industry.

At RISE, we use a combination of internally developed IT applications, as well as external ones. Whenever possible, we aim to use an already built application from a vendor, and use it to its highest potential; and where needed, extend and integrate that with our internally built applications to form a consistent, cohesive information system that accelerates and supports us in achieving our business goals.

We aim to be a software-native company, and automate many of our business processes, and extensively use data to make the right decisions in real-time. We want to achieve this through a well-built, extensive information system that spans across all departments in the company, with a centralized information dashboard for analysis in supporting business decisions.

Our IT Application team is composed of 3 to 5 cross-functional members and is designed to be complete and responsible for delivering complete applications within our company. We expect our engineers to be not just writing code, but to participate in the entire process from investigating problems, designing solutions, and implementing them into features our staff will love. In addition, we have a leadership team that is composed of team leads, IT Managers, Process Managers, IT Operation Managers, that work together in leading the entire IT department.

We use a goal-oriented IT development roadmap to keep all our teams aligned, which is updated in a weekly cycle by the leadership team. Further, we maintain a corresponding release plan based on a 6-weeks release cycle, where we break down initiatives into sizable chunks that our teams can work with as little inter-team dependency as possible.

Our teams apply an agile process of weekly planning, retrospectives, daily check-in, pair programming, and use Trello to visualize our progress. All our code is version controlled in Github and all code changes go through a peer-review process.

We have a continuous delivery pipeline, using CircleCI, and perform deployment using automated tools (CodePipeline and CloudFormation) in our AWS production site. We built most of our automation tools and we expect all our engineers to participate in maintaining our development tools, delivery pipelines, and production sites.

Our teams are encouraged to spend time developing their knowledge and skills so they stay relevant in their field. We have self-initiated learning sessions and allocate time in weekly sprints for learning activities.
