Nice To Have

  • Experience integrating data from open economic and financial APIs (e.g., World Bank, IMF, OECD, UN Data, FRED)
  • Familiarity with large structured and semi-structured datasets (JSON, CSV, Parquet) and associated performance considerations
  • Experience building incremental ingestion or change data capture (CDC) pipelines

Soft Skills

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
