You'll be empowered to automate manual processes, build scalable data solutions, and contribute to innovative projects like address scrubbing and climate risk modeling. The team values curiosity, continuous learning, and practical impact, making it an ideal environment for someone passionate about SQL, Python, and the future of data science. If you're looking for variety, autonomy, and the chance to shape how data drives decision-making, this is the place for you.
