• Cloud Data Catalog & Lakehouse Integration:
  • Integrate with and optimize workflows for data formats and catalogs such as Apache Iceberg and AWS Glue.
  • Collaborate with cloud and analytics teams to ensure seamless data discoverability and governance.
• Collaboration & Architecture:

  • Participate in architectural reviews and provide expert input on database and streaming integration strategies.
• CI/CD:
  • Set up GitHub actions for testing and release generation

  • Hands‑on experience with data loading pipelines and CDC tools (Apache Kafka, Debezium).
  • Proven contributions to open source projects, ideally in database or data streaming domains.
  • Understanding of data serialization formats such as Parquet.
  • Familiarity with Apache Iceberg or similar catalog/lakehouse technologies.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Soft Skills:
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in open source and distributed team environments.
  • Ability to mentor junior developers and engage with diverse technical communities.

Preferred Qualification:

• Experience with real‑time analytics systems or OLAP databases.
