• Develop a custom editing tool that supports micro and macro data edits, imputation, and data analysis for respondent-submitted responses.
• Support the transition of survey processing from legacy systems to the new tool.
• Develop backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI.
• Build front-end components using Vue.
• Work with Oracle and PostgreSQL databases.
• Collaborate with analysts and senior staff to understand editing and imputation processes.
• Participate in Agile routines, code reviews, and design discussions, and provide consistent communication in a remote environment.
