Description

Data Processing Developers (DPDs) design, build, and evolve the systems that turn raw data into something people can actually use. You will architect new data processing and presentation systems, create custom automated data flows to make domain-specific data human-readable, integrate new flows with existing data repositories, and advocate for transition plans that move the team off legacy platforms toward long-term, sustainable solutions.

• Design, build, and maintain databases that support new and existing workloads.

• Translate vague or evolving non-technical requirements into flexible technical solutions.

Skills Requirements

• Experience with cloud computing and virtualization technology.

• Strong programming skills.

• Experience architecting, creating, and maintaining databases.

• Familiarity with Python, Perl, Bash, MySQL, MSSQL, and Django.

• Ability to work independently and create flexible solutions based on vague, non-technical customer requirements.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with additional data processing frameworks (Apache Kafka, Airflow, Spark).

• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Front-end experience for building lightweight data presentation UIs.

• Experience with observability and data-quality tooling.
