- Three to five years of professional experience with Python and a solid grasp of computer science fundamentals like algorithms and data structures.
- Proficiency with Linux, bash scripting, and regular expressions.
- Experience building data solutions, utilizing ETL patterns, and working with both relational and NoSQL databases.
- Hands-on experience developing within Jupyter environments.
- A self-directed and curious mindset, with a strong desire to automate repetitive tasks and the ability to adapt to changing business needs.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative spirit.
It is a bonus if you have experience with AWS services, version control systems like Git, or building REST APIs. Please note that we are not currently sponsoring visas for this position.
