This involves handling API authentication, managing rate limits, processing various HTTP methods, parsing JSON/XML responses, and implementing robust error handling for external integrations.
  • SQL (Structured Query Language): Your proficiency in SQL will be paramount for complex data manipulation. This includes writing advanced queries for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes, performing complex joins and aggregations on large datasets, optimizing database queries for performance, designing and managing database schemas, and potentially developing stored procedures or functions to encapsulate business logic within the database layer. You will be expected to work with large-scale relational databases, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
  • Python: You will utilize Python scripting extensively for various data management and automation tasks. This includes developing Python scripts for automating data ingestion pipelines, performing data cleaning and validation, orchestrating complex ETL workflows, interacting with REST APIs, and automating various operational tasks related to the VeraSMART platform. Familiarity with relevant Python libraries for data processing (e.g., Pandas) and web requests (e.g., Requests) will be highly valuable. Your combined expertise with these technologies will be critical for maintaining the efficiency and accuracy of VeraSMART’s data processing engine.
• Participate in Agile Methodologies for Timely Project Delivery: You will actively participate in Agile methodologies to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of software projects. This involves engaging fully in all Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. You will contribute to story estimation, break down complex features into manageable tasks, commit to sprint goals, and adhere to principles of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Your adaptability and responsiveness to changing requirements within an iterative development cycle will be crucial for project success and rapid feature deployment.
• Contribute to the Development and Maintenance of Internal and External Data Interfaces: You will make significant contributions to both the development and ongoing maintenance of both internal and external data interfaces.
