- Contribute to data quality, reliability, and automation initiatives to enhance existing processes.
- Participate in source control, testing, and CI/CD practices to support agile data delivery.
- Engage in team meetings, sprint reviews, and design discussions to gain exposure to the full data lifecycle.
What you bring
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of Python and SQL for data manipulation and automation.
- Familiarity with cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and data pipeline concepts.
- Exposure to tools such as Databricks, Airflow, or Hadoop is an asset.
- Knowledge of data warehousing and ETL processes.
- Enthusiastic about learning new technologies, solving problems, and collaborating in a team environment.
- Excellent communication skills and a proactive, detail-oriented mindset.
Nice to have
- Experience with Docker or containerization.
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Elasticsearch).
- Interest or prior exposure to the retail or analytics industry.
- Experience working with large-scale data processing tools like Apache Spark.
What We Offer
- Real-world experience building data-driven products at scale.
- Close collaboration with experienced engineers and mentors committed to your professional growth.
- Hybrid work environment: 3 days per week in our downtown Toronto office.
- Access to learning and development resources to support continuous skill building.
