• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, data engineering, or data-focused development roles.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including frameworks and libraries such as Django or Flask, pandas, NumPy, Plotly, and ag-Grid.
• Strong SQL expertise with Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and/or Snowflake.
• Proven experience writing complex SQL, including analytical and window functions, subqueries, all join types, DML/DDL/TCL statements, CASE expressions, and performance tuning.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms, with a preference for AWS (S3, EC2, Secrets Manager, Bedrock, Lambda).
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools and frameworks such as GitHub Copilot and LangChain for building LLM-powered applications and workflows.
• Experience with Git-based version control systems and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with data modeling concepts for both structured and unstructured data.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills.
• Willingness to work across all phases of the SDLC, including requirements gathering, design, development, deployment, and production support.

Requirements

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable software architectures and data pipelines that integrate with analytical and operational systems.
• Write clean, reusable, and well-tested Python code using frameworks such as Flask and related libraries.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools, including GitHub Copilot and LangChain, to design, build, and integrate LLM-powered solutions such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, intelligent agents, and automated workflows using AWS Bedrock or similar services.
• Develop and optimize complex SQL across Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake, including procedures, functions, views, analytical functions, and dynamic SQL.
• Design and implement ETL pipelines using Snowflake and related data processing technologies.
• Implement scheduling and orchestration using Apache Airflow or similar workflow orchestration frameworks.
• Establish and maintain data quality frameworks, versioning, and governance practices to ensure data reliability, integrity, and compliance.
• Develop and maintain data architectures and models for both structured and unstructured data sources.
• Troubleshoot production issues and drive continuous improvement in software quality, performance, and reliability.
• Deploy, manage, and support solutions on AWS, including storage, compute, and pipeline services.
• Create source-to-target mappings and support data and code migration initiatives.
• Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements, translate business needs into technical solutions, and produce clear, well-structured documentation.
• Collaborate with product managers, analysts, and cross-functional teams to deliver data-driven insights and reporting using tools such as Plotly and Power BI.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation aligned with local market practices.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
