This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Develop and maintain features across a full-stack Node.js web application, including front-end components, back-end APIs, and data layer integrations.
- Work with large structured datasets, writing and debugging complex SQL queries to support data retrieval, transformation, and reporting needs.
- Build, maintain, and debug Python-based data pipelines running as scheduled jobs for data preprocessing and ingestion.
- Integrate with external APIs (like Jira) and data exports to support security risk workflows.
- Use the platform's CLI to manage jobs, clusters, and deployments, and contribute to reducing technical debt in existing data pipelines.
- Deploy changes through a staging-to-production workflow (build, deploy, test, promote) and leverage AI engineering tools (like Cursor or Claude Code) to accelerate development.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- 5+ years of experience in a similar role.
- Deep expertise in full-stack web development using Node.js or equivalent back-end frameworks. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
- Strong comfort working with SQL and data-heavy applications; ability to read, write, and debug queries against large structured datasets.
- Experience with Python scripting or notebook-based data workflows, CLI-based developer workflows, and cloud data platforms.
- Ability to ramp up quickly on an existing codebase, leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate work.
- Strong communication skills and experience working in collaborative, async-heavy team environments.
- W2 only (No C2C or 1099 contractors)
