Also, in the design of a solution to support employees in improving their software engineering skills while aligning with their personal development goals. This would combine gamification, learning paths, self-assessments, and personalized recommendations to deliver an engaging and effective learning experience.

What will your day-to-day look like?

  • Learn how to build backend services and scripts using languages like Python or Java.
  • Explore how to connect with third-party APIs (e.g., GitHub, Jira, SonarQube) to gather data from different systems.

  • Learn and apply software testing methodologies in real projects.
  • Collaborate with developers and data engineers to design and implement automated test cases.
  • Support the integration of testing tools into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins).
  • Explore technologies such as AWS, Python, Bash, and graph databases.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives).
  • Help improve platform reliability and user experience for data scientists and analysts.

 

What kind of profile are we looking for?

  • Education: Student in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Telecommunications, Statistics, Software Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience: Will be valued:
    • Understanding of programming (e.g., Python, Java) and interest in working with APIs.
    • Familiarity with databases (SQL), APIs, or cloud services.
    • Frameworks and automation tools.
    • Integrating data from tools like GitHub, Jira, or SonarQube.
    • Knowledge of a programming language and/or databases.
