• Develop prompt-driven and tool-calling workflows integrated into data processing pipelines.

• Collaborate closely with data engineers, analysts, and ML teams to deliver reliable, production-ready solutions.

• Apply best practices in ETL/ELT design, testing, and observability.

• Ensure data quality, documentation, and maintainable code across pipelines and services.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of data engineering standards and practices.

• Strong experience developing with Python, including data processing libraries such as Pandas or PySpark.
• Hands-on experience building APIs and microservices using FastAPI.

• Solid SQL knowledge and experience working with relational databases.

• Understanding of ETL/ELT principles and production data pipelines.

• Familiarity with ML or agentic workflows (e.g., LLM automation, embeddings pipelines, or model-orchestrated tasks).

• Experience using Git and CI/CD workflows.

• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

Nice to have:

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster).

• Experience with Docker and API integrations.

• Understanding of model lifecycle components such as feature stores and inference flows.
