  2. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and computational logic
  3. Clear grasp of software engineering fundamentals – version control (Git), testing, debugging, and modular design
  4. Ability to reason through problems, optimize code, and implement practical solutions
  5. Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team setting
  6. Eagerness to continuously learn and adapt to evolving tools, stacks, and requirements

Nice-to-Have:

  • Exposure to data analysis libraries or scientific computing (e.g., pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, Py-Torch, Tensor-flow, SK-Learn)
  • Basic understanding of machine learning principles or experience with small academic projects
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), APIs, or containerization (Docker)
  • Awareness of analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), dashboards, or reporting pipelines
