- 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

- Strong SQL Proficiency: Must be able to write complex queries, joins, and aggregations to analyze big data and validate system health
