• Develop, evaluate, and operationalize analytical methods and models where appropriate to the use case.

• Collaborate with domain experts to identify valuable use cases and translate complex operational challenges into practical data solutions.

• Develop and integrate APIs, services, and software components needed to make data and analytical results accessible to users and applications.

• Contribute to architecture, coding standards, testing, documentation, deployment practices, and lifecycle support for industrial data solutions.

• Work closely with software developers, engineers, simulator teams, product stakeholders, and operational specialists.

Qualifications and experience

• Bachelor's or master's degree in data science, computer science, software engineering, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related discipline.

• Relevant practical experience may also be considered.

• Experience with data engineering, data science, or a combined full-stack data profile.

• Expected depth of experience will be adapted for junior and experienced applicants.

• Strong programming skills, preferably in Python, and the ability to develop production-quality data solutions.

• Experience building data pipelines and working with cloud-based data environments.

• Understanding of data modeling, transformation, contextualization, testing, and data-quality practices.

• Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively with both technical specialists and domain experts.

• Good written and spoken English.

We can offer

• An international working environment and career opportunities throughout the entire SLB system.

• A friendly work environment where personal development and learning is encouraged.

• Work with industrial data generated by complex equipment and offshore drilling operations.
