Join our global BI Development team as we shape the future of our BI landscape in the Azure Cloud.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders to ensure reliable data delivery, clean design, and seamless integration across systems.
- Develop and maintain Python-based REST APIs with a strong focus on OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications and clean, testable code.
- Collaborate with internal teams to align on data structures, endpoints, versioning strategies, and deployment timelines.
- Work with tools such as Postman and Swagger UI to validate and document API endpoints.
- Monitor and enhance the performance, reliability, and security of deployed APIs.
- Support consumers of the APIs by maintaining clear documentation and assisting with technical queries.
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts in our development practices, code quality, and system observability (e.g., logging, error handling).
- Use GitHub, Azure DevOps, or similar tools for version control and CI/CD workflows.
Key Responsibilities

- Solid understanding of REST API design, versioning, authentication, and documentation (especially OpenAPI/Swagger).
- Proficient in using tools like Postman, VS Code, GitHub, and working with SQL-based databases.
- Familiar with Azure Functions or cloud-based deployment patterns (experience with Azure is a plus but not mandatory).
- Comfortable troubleshooting technical issues, analyzing logs, and collaborating with support or development teams to identify root causes.
- Experience or interest in distributed data processing with Spark or real-time data pipelines using Kafka is a plus, but not required.
- Team player with a collaborative mindset and a proactive approach to sharing knowledge and solving problems.
- Fluent in English, written and spoken.
