The right candidate will have hands-on experience with Python, JavaScript, SQL, Git, and automation platforms, combined with the self-direction, documentation discipline, and growth mindset needed to thrive in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.
Location: Remote. Working hours are based on the US Central or Eastern Time Zone.
