The role involves designing clean APIs, structuring robust data models, and implementing test-driven development (TDD) methodologies under the guidance of senior technical mentors.
Key Responsibilities
- ✦ Assist in building clean, well-architected, and scalable application programming interfaces (APIs).
- ✦ Support the development and optimization of data pipelines dedicated to business analytics, reporting, and data science workflows.
- ✦ Collaborate within cross-functional engineering squads to design reliable data structures and flow architectures.
- ✦ Expand technical expertise in Python backend development and database querying through active project contributions.
- ✦ Partner with senior engineers who specialize in high-availability distributed technology systems.
- ✦ Track project milestones, present engineering deliverables, and share progress updates with global development teams.
- ✦ Actively engage in technical feedback loops to accelerate professional development and coding capability.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- ✦ Current enrollment in the penultimate year of a bachelor’s or master’s degree program in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related discipline (expected graduation in 2028).
- ✦ A demonstrable portfolio featuring software engineering projects, personal coding repositories, or open-source technical contributions.
- ✦ Analytical problem-solving mindset with a proactive, inquisitive, and outcome-oriented work ethic.
- ✦ Professional fluency in spoken and written English alongside strong organizational and interpersonal communication abilities.
- ✦ Comfort working collaboratively within fast-paced, international, and cross-functional engineering teams.
