• Legacy Support: Provide minimal support (~5% of time) for existing Java-based pipelines.

Required Experience:

• 37+ years of professional software development experience (not open to entry-level).
• Professional experience as a Python Developer building scalable back-end services and/or data pipelines.
• Cloud platform experience (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure acceptable with adaptability).
