• Extend and monitor asynchronous, queue-based pipelines that ingest, extract, and transform large volumes of records
• Handle sensitive personal and health data in line with regulatory requirements, including encryption, access logging, and retention controls
• Implement audit logging and data lineage so that system outputs can be traced and reproduced
• Write automated tests, participate in code review, and ship through the team's CI/CD pipeline on AWS
• Support ad hoc data requests from internal teams and document recurring issues and resolutions
• Support frontend development in React, including component development, API integration, and UI bug fixes within an assigned product area

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Working proficiency in Python, with familiarity in a web framework such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django
• Solid relational database fundamentals: SQL, schema design, indexing, and query performance (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Exposure to asynchronous or queue-based processing such as Celery, SQS, or RabbitMQ
• Familiarity with Git-based version control, code review, and standard software testing practices
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS, and to CI/CD pipelines
• Strong written communication and the ability to document design decisions clearly
