• Stay current with industry trends and advances in data engineering and rapid prototyping, including BI, low-code and no-code solutions.
• Promote data-driven approaches and innovation among business users while collaborating effectively across teams.

A questionnaire will be provided to you in order to check your VIE (Société Générale and Business France) eligibility. For an efficient analysis of your application, please make sure to truthfully answer all the questions.
