  • Integrate APIs and contribute to AI-enabled insights, automation, and anomaly detection initiatives


Qualifications

  • 5–8 years of experience in data engineering, analytics, or backend development roles
  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
  • Hands-on experience with data pipelines / ETL, cloud platforms, and visualization tools (Grafana, Kibana, Power BI, or similar)
  • Experience working with logs, telemetry, or system-generated data is a strong plus
  • Comfortable operating independently in a small, fast-moving engineering team
