This role is suited for an experienced, self-directed individual who can operate with a high degree of autonomy, take ownership of outcomes, and deliver working solutions with minimal day-to-day oversight.

• Implement workflow automation and data pipelines where needed
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including CI/CD
• Ensure solutions are production-ready, including testing, documentation, and handover
• Act as a reliable execution partner, escalating issues early when required

SKILLS

Must have

• Prior consulting, advisory, or client-facing delivery experience
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments
• Proven independent delivery without close supervision
• Strong Python experience in enterprise environments
• Experience building RESTful services / APIs
