- Develop advanced analytics models, dashboards and reporting frameworks that provide actionable business intelligence to client stakeholders.
- Assist clients in integrating AI/ML capabilities, LLMs, RAG pipelines and predictive analytics into their existing data ecosystems and EDB Postgres AI platform.
- Ensure high data quality, governance, security and performance optimisation across all client deliverables.
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills — required at professional level.

- Strong proficiency in Python or Scala, and advanced SQL. Experience building batch and/or real-time data pipelines.
- Solid understanding of data warehousing concepts, data modelling (Star/Snowflake schema) and data architecture principles.
