As an extension of the job role, you'll also get to enjoy working with our data scientists to explore statistical methods. In all, you’ll be owning the data collation platform.
To succeed in this data engineering position, you should have a strong ability to build a platform and automation of services that collate and organize data from different sources. You are a strong programmer with attention to detail and possess good analytical skills. Also, knowledge of audio processing would be a huge bonus.
