Advanced SQL skills and strong experience with dbt for transformation, testing, documentation, lineage, and controlled deployment.
Experience operating managed ingestion tools such as Fivetran or HVR and supporting custom data-ingestion pipelines.
Hands-on experience with AWS data services, particularly S3 and event-driven or file-based ingestion patterns.
Experience orchestrating and troubleshooting data workloads with Argo Workflows on Kubernetes, or comparable workflow-orchestration technologies.
Proficiency in Python for data engineering, automation, and operational tooling.
Strong understanding of data modeling, pipeline dependencies, schema evolution, backfills, data validation, and production data quality.
Experience with observability, logging, alerting, and incident-management practices for production data platforms.
Demonstrated ability to lead complex incident resolution, perform root-cause analysis, and convert findings into preventive improvements.
Ability to make well-reasoned technical decisions, estimate work, and guide improvements across a complex platform.
Experience mentoring engineers and collaborating with Cloud/DevOps, Analytics, Security, Governance, and business stakeholders.
Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with ability to work directly with client stakeholders.
