  • Expose clean data via APIs and query layers for research and production use.
  • Collaborate with quants, DS, and SWE to prototype and productionize datasets.
  • Maintain security and access hygiene using IAM, secrets management, and audits.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 5+ years of production data pipeline and platform experience.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; familiarity with distributed, time-series, or NoSQL databases.
