ABOUT SINGLESTORE & THE TEAM

SingleStore is the Intelligence Platform powering real-time data, analytics, and AI experiences at enterprise scale.

Automation workflows: Design and build automation pipelines to eliminate manual and repetitive processes.

Data analysis & pipelines: Write Python and SQL to extract, transform, and analyse data from internal systems (Salesforce, data warehouse, etc.), including building scoring and prioritization models.

Process improvement: Identify workflow inefficiencies, propose solutions, and drive implementation end-to-end with strong ownership.

Project management: Independently scope, sequence, and deliver technical projects.
