The Role

We're looking for a hands-on Python Automation Engineer to build automation for a data masking solution within a financial services environment.

The focus is on writing Python code and integrating with REST APIs to automate masking workflows. You'll build scripts and services that trigger masking jobs, monitor their progress, handle errors and exceptions, and process the resulting outputs.

This is primarily a Python development and API integration role, rather than a traditional Data Engineering or platform configuration position.
