  • Experience working with large-scale data and Big Data platforms (e.g., Spark or similar technologies)
  • Experience performing tasks associated with Big Data platform management and distributed data processing environments
  • Experience developing, implementing, and refining analytical algorithms to improve performance and scalability
  • Experience supporting data visualization and presenting analytical results through dashboards or visual tools
  • Strong background in mathematics, statistics, and computational methods
  • Experience with data processing, including cleaning, transformation, and normalization
  • Experience with workflow automation and reproducible analytics
  • Ability to analyze data in varying states of completeness and structure
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
Education and Experience:

 
  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline and six (6) years of relevant experience; OR
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline and eight (8) years of relevant experience; OR
  • Associate’s degree in a related discipline and ten (10) years of relevant experience
