Dunnhumby India, a global leader in customer data science, has announced the launch of a Coding Challenge exclusively for women, with the opportunity to work at dunnhumby for the winners.

The challenge will be run in collaboration with TechGig, India's largest tech community.

Edwina Dunn and Clive Humby, a husband and wife team, founded the company.

Dunnhumby is the global leader in Customer Data Science, enabling businesses worldwide to compete and thrive in today's data-driven economy.

Dunnhumby, one of India's fastest growing customer data science companies, employs close to 700 people from across the country. During the lockdown, the company added over 150 new employees via virtual hiring and onboarding. Dunnhumby India plans to grow with similar momentum in the coming years.

“After two successful runs of Code Combat – dunnhumby’s prize challenge, this coding challenge presents potential employees an exciting opportunity to show us their talent in action as we target to hire over 100 engineers this year. dunnhumby believes diversity of thought is a competitive edge and the fantastic success of female participants in the previous edition of Code Combat only goes to show the tremendous female talent we have in our country. We all need to work much harder to enable greater diversity in the workplace. One of the ways to move the needle is to change the balance of hiring significantly, and we are hoping to do just that with this challenge,” said Manoj Madhusudanan, Head of dunnhumby India.

There are three challenges that correspond to the skill sets sought for three different roles at Dunnhumby: Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Web Developer.

Participants will be evaluated based on their technical skills, business understanding, innovative approach, scalability, and solution effectiveness.
