The Lead Python Developer will oversee the design, development, and implementation of end-to-end data science solutions within the Microsoft Azure and Data Fabric environment. This role will involve management of Developers within a multi-disciplinary team (approximately 25% leadership and 75% hands-on software development), liaising with stakeholders, providing technical advice and guidance, and leading work to develop data modelling and forecasting solutions.
Provide technical leadership to the python development team, including workload allocation, code reviews, and ensuring adherence to standards and best practices for maintainable, scalable, reliable, and high-quality code.
Understand the product planning lifecycle and provide technical advice on the size and complexity of deliverables to inform effort estimations and contribute to the management of product backlog.
Lead the development and implementation of robust python-based solutions for efficient data processing, and transformation of large datasets from ADLS and Databricks, ensuring data quality and readiness for model development.
Oversee and guide the design, implementation, and training of machine learning models using relevant python libraries to address complex business problems.
Ensure that all development efforts align with the overall Indigo and data platform architecture and contribute to a scalable and robust solution.
