In practice, that means turning what economists and statisticians need into working pipelines, interfaces and dashboards. You would look after how statistical data is collected and published, including the bank's SDMX work, and keep production support running. The tools named on the posting include Lakehouse engineering, Kubernetes, high-performance computing and AI or machine learning for things like document processing, anomaly detection and forecasting.
It ranks first for two reasons. The visa terms are the clearest on this list: because the BIS is an international organisation, the posting says it can hire candidates of every nationality, living anywhere, and it offers relocation support for the hire and their dependent family. And it is the most time-sensitive: the application deadline is 2 November, five days from today.
Best for:** a data or analytics engineer with more than six years of experience who already guides junior colleagues and likes working with non-engineers.
Skip it if: you want a permanent role, since the contract runs for three years, or you cannot get an application in by 2 November.
Salary: No salary on the listing. The posting mentions a competitive package with childcare and education allowances where applicable.
At a glance: Basel · hybrid, including home-office and work-from-abroad days · 6+ years · posted 12 October (16 days ago).
