(e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) Conduct exploratory data analysis, statistical modelling, hypothesis testing, and insight generation to support strategic business decisions. Develop high-quality, interpretable data visualisations using Matplotlib, Seaborn, and similar tools. Translate complex analytical outcomes into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.nnData Engineering u0026 Pipeline Developmentnn Design and implement robust, scalable data orchestration pipelines using tools such as Airflow or Dagster. Work with big data technologies (Spark, Hadoop, Dask) to process and analyse large-scale datasets efficiently. Define and implement data models using ER diagrams, normalisation techniques (e.g., star schema, Snowflake), and contemporary ORM frameworks (e.g., SQLAlchemy). Provision, administer, and optimise relational databases, including schema design, indexing, and access management.



Build high-performance APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask, following best RESTful design practices.nnSoftware Engineering and DevOps Integrationnn Develop modular, maintainable, object-oriented Python code using best practice design patterns and testing practices (CI/CD, unit tests, code reviews). Containerise and deploy applications using Docker and Kubernetes; support infrastructure provisioning through Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible). Contribute to system architecture discussions, microservices design, and integration with cloud platforms notably Azure.nnCollaboration and Leadershipnn Work collaboratively across technical and non-technical teams to embed data-driven decision-making. Support large-scale analytical or data engineering projects, adherence to best practices in code quality, reproducibility, and documentation. Shape AI use cases with internal stakeholders and, where needed, client counterparts (problem framing, value hypothesis, data readiness, and delivery roadmap), and communicate trade-offs clearly.nnEssential Technical Skills And Experiencenn Python programming expertise, including functions, classes, modules, packages, and advanced OOP features. Solid statistical knowledge (degree-level or equivalent). Demonstrable experience in machine learning model development and evaluation. Proficiency with relational databases and database design.



Experience designing and maintaining data pipelines and big-data processing workflows. Familiarity with containerisation, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure. Experience deploying models and data pipelines into production environments. Good understanding of data modelling, APIs, and software engineering best practices.nnProfessional Competenciesnn Strong problem-solving ability, capable of resolving ambiguous or complex analytical challenges. Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to diverse stakeholders. Advocates for high-quality software development practices. Comfortable mentoring team members and leading aspects of project delivery. Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.nnDesirable Skillsnn Experience with microservice architectures. Knowledge of cloud cost optimisation and resource management. Ability to configure and interpret monitoring and alerting systems. Familiarity with data ethics, governance, and privacy best practices. Some background in developing LLM, generative AI and Responsible AI based solutionsnnQualificationsnn Bachelor's/master's degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Data Science) or equivalent industry experience Evidence of continued professional development in data science, data engineering, or cloud technologies.nnBGV:nn Employment with WSP India is subject to the successful completion of a background verification (BGV) check conducted by a third-party agency appointed by WSP India. Candidates are advised to ensure that all information provided during the recruitment process including documents uploaded is accurate and complete, both to WSP India and its BGV partner.nnAbout UsnnWSP is one of the world's leading professional services consulting firms .
