• Large-Scale Data Processing: Demonstrated ability to manipulate, process, and optimize processing pipelines for extremely large datasets.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Skilled in reviewing, unit testing, and integration testing software components against documented design requirements, as well as tracking and resolving software problem reports (PRs/Jira tickets).
• Software Architecture & Trade-Off Analysis: Experience providing technical input into system-level design, including evaluating hardware/software trade-offs, driving software reuse, and integrating COTS/GOTS solutions in place of new development.
• Agile Software Methodologies: Proficiency using modern software engineering methodologies, tools, and practices tailored to dynamic development environments.

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline, PLUS 7+ years of professional experience in data science, NLP, or software engineering OR High School Diploma / GED, PLUS 11+ years of specialized technical experience in lieu of a degree.

Desired Skills

• Modern Programming Languages: Proficiency in languages such as Java, Python, C++, Go, or TypeScript/JavaScript.
• Cloud & Containerization: Experience developing cloud-native microservices using AWS services, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Data Processing Frameworks: Familiarity with distributed computing and data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, or NiFi).
• CI/CD & DevOps: Practical knowledge of automated build, deployment, and continuous integration tools (e.g., Git, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
