Specific project areas vary by team and may include:
-
Developing SQL and Python based data transformation and pipeline code
-
Building and maintaining ELT pipelines and analytics workflows on Databricks or similar platforms
-
Supporting machine learning model development, evaluation, or deployment infrastructure
