• Expert SQL skills and a solid understanding of data modelling approaches (e.g. Kimball).
• Hands-on experience with dbt, including working on large or complex dbt projects.
• Experience with cloud data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake) and ELT tools (e.g. Fivetran).
• Experience with data observability tools (e.g. Monte Carlo).
• Experience with BI tools (e.g. Looker, Mode, Tableau), including enabling self-serve access for non-technical users.
• A strong focus on data quality, testing, observability, and performance.
• A track record of delivering clean, documented, and production-grade data assets to support analysis and decision-making.
