• Experience with PostgreSQL and MongoDB or similar relational and NoSQL databases.
• A solid grasp of system design, scalability, and performance optimization in ML-driven applications.
• A pragmatic, test-driven approach and experience implementing CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to translate business requirements into practical technical solutions, especially in data integration for supply chain/logistics contexts.
• Strong communication skills in English.

You can look forward to:

• Opportunity to work flexibly from home
