Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and maintaining data pipelines using AWS and Python

• Supporting analytics, reporting, and internal tools through clean, reliable data

• Applying best practices in testing, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code

• Writing well-documented, production-ready code in a collaborative environment

• Learning and adapting quickly to new tools and workflows

What We're Looking For:

• 1–2 years' experience in a data engineering or technical role

• Strong programming fundamentals, ideally in Python

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

• Interest in topics like containers, messaging systems, and scalable data workflows

• An eagerness to learn, take ownership, and contribute to a growing team

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to work in a startup environment where your ideas and contributions will have a visible, real-world impact. If you're a self-starter with a passion for building scalable, modern data infrastructure — this is the perfect next step.
