• Familiarity with cloud technologies such as GCP or AWS.
• Experience with big data and microservices technologies such as Spark, Beam, Airflow, and Docker (K8S is an asset).

• Skills in task prioritization, meeting deadlines, and raising alerts when risks arise.
• Capability to manage a team, coach juniors, and identify their areas for improvement.
