What We’re Looking For

  • Strong Python skills, particularly in data engineering tasks.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization/orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Background in a scale-up or start-up, with the ability to work independently in a remote setting.
  • Bonus: Experience with machine learning and A. I. technologies.
