Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To

• Telemetry Ingestion, Discovery, & Data Engineering Fundamentals

• Design & Optimize Data Pipelines: Build and maintain scalable, high-throughput, and fault-tolerant data pipelines utilizing workflow orchestrators (Eg: Apache Airflow) to ingest massive volumes of OT telemetry, network ping sweeps, and industrial sensor data into centralized data lakes or warehouses (e.g. BigQuery).

• Data Engineering Fundamentals

• Apply core software engineering principles to data workflows. Write clean, modular, and optimized SQL and Python data-processing scripts. Ensure data pipeline reliability through comprehensive logging, schema validation and evolution handling, and unit/integration testing.

• Clustering

• Design and implement unsupervised machine learning models (e.g., hierarchical, affinity, or graph-based clustering) to resolve dynamic filters, parent-child relationships into unified, high-confidence device profiles.

• Profile Matching

• Develop programmatically automated ETL and matching engines to join real-time data profiles against composite databases, resolving complex ranges.

• Machine Learning Engineering & TypeScript Integration

• Productionize ML Models: Transition experimental Jupyter/Python notebooks into production-grade, containerized ML pipelines (utilizing Docker, Kubernetes, and MLflow or Kubeflow).

• TypeScript Services Development: Implement and maintain robust microservices, serverless functions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions), and data-transformation middleware written in TypeScript.

• Internal Tooling & Scripting: Build automated system scrapers and design custom scripting, web components, and frontend templates (utilizing basic HTML/TypeScript) to render dynamic, real-time security insights inside internal portals and developer tools.

• Risk Posture Automation & Enterprise Reporting

• Data-Driven Risk Transition: Automate the migration of legacy, manual risk spreadsheets (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets) into secure, relational database structures (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).

• Executive Dashboarding & Visualization: Customize interactive dashboard applications and reporting platforms (using business intelligence tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Looker, alongside custom frontend charts) to display site-level risk trajectories, plan-vs-actual compliance milestones, and OKRs for global executive leadership.

Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Data Science, Analytics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience (3+ years) in data analytics, data science, or a related role.
• Expertise in SQL, Python, and ETL pipeline development.
• Proficiency in visualization tools such as Looker Studio, Tableau, or PLX.
• Experience with data quality management and migrations in tools.
• Strong statistical analysis skills, including PCA, regression analysis, and A/B testing methodologies.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and present data insights to senior leadership.
• Familiarity with sustainability or CSRM data analysis preferred.
• Knowledge of BigQuery and Google Developer Tools (Critique, Cider, Piper).
• Experience designing dashboards for CSRM.
