Entry-Level Data / Software Engineer / Architect

About the Role

Fidare is hiring a part-time data engineer/architect to build and maintain our EPM. This job would be perfect for a student or other individual seeking highly flexible part-time work which would be performed primarily at home. We are very flexible on how many and when the hours are worked...

A general familiarity with python or other similar languages is crucial, but the candidate does not need to be fluent in or highly experienced in python. We?re more concerned that the candidate is able to engineer prompts for ChatGPT to write the code for them. The candidate will perfect the code by sending prompts back to ChatGPT, then test the scripts by running them in Terminal. The best candidate will be an individual highly motivated, who prioritizes needs and is willing to commit focused time to the job.

About You

You understand how information can be organized and analyzed into actionable knowledge. You enjoy designing data systems that combine multiple sources in meaningful ways.

• Familiarity with Python

• Comfortable using ChatGPT to write Python code, while always anonymizing data before sending it to ChatGPT

• Willing to take extraordinary measures to safeguard highly sensitive health data

• Completed or in-progress degree in Data Science, Programming/Systems, Computer Science or other related field (or relevant experience)

• Strong communications skills to articulate database design approaches to stakeholders

• Can work from a quiet, comfortable space at home which can house multiple monitors

• Ideally located in San Diego and willing to participate in company-wide (would be with a small portion of the team; five to ten individuals) lunches and functions approximately quarterly

• Use a Mac and an iPhone

No candidate will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we?ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we still encourage you to apply.
