● Support downstream financial modeling and analytics use cases
Benefits
● Strong understanding of XBRL data structures and EDGAR filing architecture (required)
● Practical experience in extracting and processing financial data from SEC EDGAR
● Solid knowledge of financial statements and reporting concepts
● Proficiency in Python for data extraction, transformation, and automation
● Experience with libraries such as lxml, BeautifulSoup, pandas, requests, or similar tools
