SUMMARY

Lead the modernization of core data processing systems. Responsible for translating complex legacy SAS logic into robust, high-performance Python solutions. Build and maintain scalable data pipelines that handle large-scale datasets, ensuring that our data products are accurate, well-documented, and optimized for a cloud-native environment. Work with DSD IT Specialists in an integrated team environment.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

· Analyze existing SAS-based systems and re-implement logic in Python, ensuring functional parity while improving maintainability, scalability, and performance.

· Design and develop end-to-end data pipelines to ingest, clean, validate, and transform diverse data formats—including SAS datasets, Parquet, JSON, and SQL—using larger-than-memory processing techniques.

· Profile, optimize, and refactor code to eliminate bottlenecks and improve performance. Implement parallel computing strategies using libraries such as Dask and multiprocessing to efficiently process production-scale workloads.

· Develop Python solutions that interface with PostgreSQL for high-volume data storage, retrieval, and processing.

· Implement automated testing, data validation, and quality assurance processes to ensure the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of critical data assets throughout the data lifecycle.

· Maintain high standards for code quality by producing well-documented, readable, maintainable, and extensible code. Participate in peer reviews and knowledge sharing to promote engineering best practices.

· Collaborate with DSD IT Specialists and other stakeholders to implement efficient, scalable Python solutions that meet functional and technical requirements.

· Partner with DSD stakeholders to validate business and technical requirements, troubleshoot implementation issues, and support the successful modernization of legacy systems.

· Attend branch meetings and communicate technical concepts, project updates, and recommendations clearly and effectively.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
