## About the Role

Do you have experience in SQL?, Do you have a Master's degree?, · EcoInsight and DataAgent - Python/FastAPI services, LLM orchestration pipelines and data infrastructure, accountable for reliability and security.

· Directing AI agents (Claude Code, Copilot, DevOps MCP) - reviewing and hardening what they produce, not just prompting.

· Observability across LLM features using Langfuse-style tooling so behaviour is explainable and audit-ready.

· Cross-stack integration with JS/TypeScript engineers - designing APIs that keep Python and browser services loosely coupled but coherent.

· Contributing to the canonical data model across products - architecture decisions that matter, not just tickets.

What you'll bring:

· Production Python (FastAPI, async, CI/CD, structured testing).

· Hands-on LLM orchestration in production - Azure OpenAI, LangChain or similar.

· Strong SQL and data pipeline skills; SQL Server / SQLite experience a plus.

· Confidence using AI coding tools and owning the output.

· Interest in regulated or quality-managed environments (GxP, CSV or GAMP familiarity welcome).

In 18 months, success looks like: EcoInsight and DataAgent are stable, observable and contractor-independent. 80%+ of new Python work flows through the agentic SDLC with clean QMS-traceable provenance.
