Develops software that processes, stores, and serves data and machine learning models for use by others.
Develops moderate to large-scale data structures and pipelines to organize, collect, and standardize data that helps generate insights and intelligence to support business needs.
Writes ETL (Extract / Transform / Load) or ELT processes, designs data stores, and develops tools for real-time and offline analytic processing on-premises or on cloud infrastructure.
Develops and maintains optimal data pipelines into the ML and advanced analytics platform, including design of data flows, procedures, and schedules. Ensures that optimal data pipelines are scalable, repeatable, and secure.
Troubleshoot software and processes for data consistency and integrity. Integrates data from a variety of sources, assuring that they adhere to data quality and accessibility standards.
Anticipates and prevents problems and roadblocks before they occur.
Interacts with internal and external peers and managers to exchange complex information related to areas of specialization.
Collaborates with AI/ML scientists and data scientists to prepare data for model development and to deploy models to production.
