Summary: The Python Software/Automation Engineer will develop automation tools for data validation and reconciliation between API responses and database queries, utilizing technologies such as PostgreSQL and Snowflake. The role involves building FastAPI endpoints, creating data validation frameworks, and integrating automation workflows with Databricks. The engineer will also document reusable modules and manage Agile processes using Jira and GitHub. This position requires strong Python proficiency and experience in automation and data validation frameworks.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop automation tools to validate and reconcile data between API responses and database queries using PostgreSQL and Snowflake.
  • Build and maintain FastAPI endpoints utilizing Pydantic BaseModel for data validation, SQLAlchemy ORM for database integration, and Snowflake connectors for secure connections.
  • Leverage Python Requests and JSON libraries to interact with REST APIs, parse structured responses, and automate API-based testing.
  • Design and execute data validation frameworks using pytest and Pandas to ensure accuracy and integrity across multiple data sources.
  • Create Streamlit dashboards for visualization of validation results, metrics, and exception reports in real time.
  • Integrate automation workflows with Databricks and SQL pipelines to support large-scale data validation and performance optimization.
  • Utilize Jira for Agile sprint tracking, test case management, and issue resolution while maintaining code quality through GitHub version control and CI/CD workflows.
  • Document reusable FastAPI modules, validation schemas, and automation utilities to enhance standardization and accelerate development cycles.

Key Skills:

  • Minimum experience: BS + 12 years relevant experience
  • Strong proficiency in Python with experience in automation and data validation frameworks (pytest, Pandas, Requests, JSON, os, logging, re).
  • Hands-on experience with FastAPI, including Pydantic, BaseModel, and SQLAlchemy ORM for backend API development.
  • Expertise in PostgreSQL and Snowflake, including secure connection handling via SQLAlchemy, snowflake-connector-python, and psycopg2.
  • Proven ability to design and automate validation between API responses and database queries, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
  • Proficiency in REST API integration using Requests, FastAPI, and Uvicorn with structured JSON schema handling.
  • Familiarity with GitHub (version control, branching, pull requests) and Jira (Agile tracking, sprint and Kanban management).
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, API authentication (JWT/OAuth2), and data integrity testing.
  • Experience optimizing SQL queries, FastAPI endpoints, and improving performance in high-volume systems.
  • Knowledge of Databricks and integrating validation workflows within large-scale data engineering environments.
