Functional Focus: Data Engineering, Real-Time Streaming, and HPC Job Orchestration
Responsibilities
•
Scientific Data Architecture: Design crash-safe, binary data formats capable of handling high-speed incremental writes from compute jobs and concurrent reads for query-time calculations.
•
Operational Data Modeling: Design and maintain a relational database schema via an async ORM, backend-agnostic across database engines.
•
HPC Workload Management: Manage the lifecycle of batch and interactivecompute jobs, handling subprocess monitoring, status polling, and cluster filesystem coherency.
•
Real-Time API & Streaming: Build async backend services and long-lived, server-pushed event channels with backpressure handling, and enforce role-based access control on all APIs.
•
AI Service Integration: Integrate and orchestrate calls to an AI/analytics service from the backend, coordinating with application state.
Requirements
Mandatory:
•
Python 3, async/await
•
FastAPI (or similar async Python web framework)
•
Relational DB modeling, async ORM (e.g. Tortoise, SQLAlchemy), SQL
•
Server-Sent Events or WebSockets, backpressure handling
•
Role-based access control (RBAC), token-based auth (JWT/OAuth)
