About the role

  • Bridge the gap between product requirements and technical execution
  • Design, build, and maintain internal tools and scripts to automate manual business processes using Python
  • Maintain and migrate existing legacy workflows toward more robust, code-based solutions (e.g., Django or Python scripts)
  • Develop scripts to interact with internal and external APIs for data retrieval and system updates
  • Build and monitor data pipelines (ETL) to ensure accurate data flow between systems
  • Write complex SQL queries to extract, manipulate, and validate data for internal stakeholders and client reporting
  • Assist in the implementation and management of orchestration tools
  • Serve as a technical escalation point for data anomalies and system bugs
  • Proactively monitor foundational systems to identify issues before they impact clients
  • Investigate root causes of technical incidents by digging into logs, databases, and code
  • Collaborate with Product Managers to understand business requirements and translate them into technical specifications
  • Work closely with the Engineering team to ensure local tools align with the broader architecture

Requirements

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field
  • 1–2 years of experience in a technical role (e.g. Junior Data & Tools Engineer, Data Analyst, Support Engineer or Junior Developer)
  • Portfolio or GitHub examples of personal projects are highly valued
  • Strong SQL Proficiency: Must be able to write complex queries, joins, and aggregations to analyze big data and validate system health
  • Python Proficiency: Experience using Python for data manipulation (Pandas), automation, or API interaction
  • Familiarity with ETL concepts; exposure to Airflow is a significant plus
  • Knowledge of Django or Flask is a strong plus
  • Familiarity with Retool is helpful for understanding legacy tools, but not required for future builds
  • Exceptional Problem Solving: A "detective" mindset with the ability to troubleshoot issues across different layers of the stack
  • Strong verbal and written skills; able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with JIRA and agile workflows
  • Self-motivated with a track record of appropriate urgency and follow-through.
