• Develop and maintain APIs for timeseries data retrieval from online platforms, automating data preparation and delivery processes.
• Ensure data quality control measures are in place and meet the Solar Performance Analysis team's reporting requirements (Solar and BESS).
• Collaborate with IT teams to maintain system security, including firewall management, SSL certificate renewals, and implementation of cybersecurity best practices.
• Create and maintain clear documentation for all data processes and infrastructure.
• Continuously assess and implement state-of-the-art methodologies and technologies to improve efficiency and performance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent IT degree.
• Strong experience in Azure, InfluxDB, SQL, and Python database principles.
• Strong knowledge of SCADA monitoring platforms and 'big data' infrastructure.
• Proficiency with code hosting services (e.g., GitLab) and data visualization platforms (e.g., Grafana).
• Self-starter with excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, technical environment.
• Outstanding communication skills, both written and oral.
• Experience with MySQL, timeseries databases, and energy generation data structures (preferred).
• Basic electrical knowledge and understanding of common communication protocols (preferred).
• Awareness of cybersecurity best practices and commitment to renewable energy.
