• Expert-level proficiency in Python and SQL, including performance tuning and writing maintainable, production-grade code
• Deep experience with APIs and integration framework
• Hands-on experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Dagster, Airflow) and config-driven/declarative pipeline systems (e.g., dbt), with experience designing these systems being a strong asset
• Proven track record of leading complex implementations or data migrations from discovery through delivery
• Strong problem-solving skills and a customer-centric mindset, with demonstrated success owning ambiguous technical problems directly with customers
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, including at the executive level
