Client Note: -  Can accept candidates without FAME experience if they have worked with a different time-series data ecosystem. However, R programming experience is a must-have. DuckDB is required as well but if a candidate has worked with SQLite for analytics he would be willing to consider that.

Key Responsibilities
Modernize Infrastructure: Transition legacy database storage and code to robust, modern pipelines.
Bridge Tech Eras: Master FAME coding to safely reverse-engineer and refactor code into Python and R.

Experience: 7+ years in software development (SDLC).
Tech Stack: Strong Python, R; familiarity with SQL-based systems or DuckDB. FAME is a major plus.
