What We're Looking For

• Strong IT/software implementation skills with hands-on experience.
• Expertise in Linux and scripting languages such as Python, PySpark, and Bash.
• Database experience is a plus such as SQL and scripting to extract or manipulate data (administration not required); familiarity with ElasticSearch, Oracle, MSSQL, MariaDB is a plus.
