• Work closely with data scientists, ML, and AI engineers to operationalize models and integrate LLM-related logic into data pipelines.
• Apply Scrum methodologies to manage prioritization, planning, and execution of tasks for the data intelligence team.

Requirements

• Strong critical thinking, research, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly grasp new data-related domains.
• Solid foundation in large-scale data systems, including data warehousing and data processing (parallel processing, data partitioning, cost optimization).
• Proficiency in data programming, covering algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and relational databases.
• Strong understanding of software development practices, including version control, testing, and CI/CD.
• Knowledge of Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Deep Learning (DL).
• Familiarity with the Blockchain domain and a strong interest in expanding expertise within this area.

Education & Experience

• MSc/PhD in Computer Science, AI, or a related field (strong plus).
• 7+ years of professional experience in data engineering or data science.

• Hands-on experience with AWS data services (Glue, Redshift, S3, Lambda, Athena).
• Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL, and PySpark.
• Practical experience with big data frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark), workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, AWS Step Functions), and Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform).
• Experience with modern lakehouse architectures and open table formats (Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake), and with data transformation and quality tooling such as dbt and Great Expectations.
• Hands-on experience with MLOps, including operationalizing ML models in production.
