Responsibilities:
* Fully rewrite and maintain the core Python model behind the Athena Tracker, currently used by 400+ schools.
* Build and maintain data pipelines that process, clean, and load large datasets from school MIS systems.
* Work with other team members (developers, designer, support) to ensure the data science components are robust, scalable, and aligned with product needs.
* Maintain a clear focus on delivery and avoid excessive exploratory work unless required for direct product improvements.
* Help publish technical documentation or articles related to Athena's work in education analytics.
* Be available for regular check-ins, share progress clearly, and ask questions early when roadblocks arise.
Minimum Requirements:
* Strong Python skills, especially with pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn or LightGBM.
* Experience writing and maintaining production-level code — not just notebooks or prototypes.
* Strong SQL and data manipulation skills.
* Demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver well-tested, documented code.
* Good communication skills and evidence of working well in a small team or startup setting.
* Knowledge of the Irish secondary school system or interest in improving education systems.
