## About the Role

We are looking for curious, practical and detail-oriented graduates or early-career professionals to join our team as Junior Data & Systems Analysts.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of data, software, hardware and quality within a pharmaceutical environment. You will help ensure our data is accurate, our systems work as expected, and our software and processes are properly tested and documented.

You do not need previous pharmaceutical or GMP experience. We are looking for people with a good technical foundation, hands-on coding experience and a willingness to learn how technology is used in a regulated environment., * A degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, Engineering or a related quantitative or technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

 * Working knowledge of Python and SQL, demonstrated through work experience, internships, university projects or a personal portfolio.
 * Good Excel and spreadsheet skills, including data cleaning, comparison and reconciliation.
 * Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to checking work.
 * Logical problem-solving skills and an interest in debugging and investigating discrepancies.
 * Clear written communication and the ability to document work accurately.
 * A practical, hands-on attitude and willingness to learn new tools and systems.

Desirable skills

You do not need experience in all these areas. Exposure to any of the following would be an advantage:

 * Databases and cloud platforms, such as PostgreSQL, Supabase, AWS or Firebase.
 * Reporting and visualisation tools, such as Power BI, Dash or Metabase.
 * Git and GitHub.
 * Machine learning or computer vision, including TensorFlow or PyTorch.
 * Hardware, electronics, RFID, cameras or IoT devices.
 * Software testing, data validation, quality assurance or regulated environments such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare or GMP.

## Description

* Data integrity and reconciliation: Compare and reconcile data across warehouse and RFID systems, ERP, finance and other platforms, investigating discrepancies and helping resolve their causes.
 * Software testing and validation: Test our in-house software, write test scripts, record results, collect evidence and support software validation documentation.
 * Data migration and due diligence: Check data and records as we migrate from our ERP to our own platform, identifying inconsistencies and helping ensure data is complete and accurate.
 * Reporting and analytics: Build simple reports, dashboards and data checks to improve visibility and support day-to-day operations.
 * Systems support: Help investigate data and software issues, troubleshoot problems and support routine system maintenance.
 * Hardware and device testing: Assist with setting up and testing RFID handhelds, cameras and small computing devices, including Raspberry Pi and Jetson hardware.
 * Quality and documentation: Maintain clear, accurate records and follow agreed procedures appropriate to a regulated pharmaceutical environment.
