Part of your daily responsibilities will be to:
Design, implement and maintain data pipelines, using AI agents to produce the code
Develop algorithms to transform data into useful information
Analyse data to identify issues and define the logic for complex functions and scripts
Guide and validate AI-generated solutions so they follow standards, focusing on simplicity, performance, and maintainability
Own data modeling and data quality, acting as the expert behind the AI that produces the results
Explore new data sources and integrate them into the data product(s)
Work with CI/CD processes for data, as well as data testing and monitoring
Create prototypes and documentation underlying main aspects of the work
