• Familiarity with cloud‑native architectures and data platforms (Snowflake, Azure, Kafka) or hybrid environments.
• Experience with data governance, security (access management, encryption, auditing), and compliance frameworks.
• Mastery of CI/CD (Git, Jenkins, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes); this is mandatory.
