Required Qualifications:

1. Proven experience architecting and building financial, regulatory, or customer reporting systems, or complex data transformation pipelines.
2. Hands-on experience with monitoring, alerting, and observability tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Prometheus.
3. Strong track record designing high-availability workflows with strict SLOs (>99%) using orchestration tools like Airflow.
4. Expert-level proficiency in Python, Pandas, and SQL, with experience working on platforms like Snowflake and Postgres.
5. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work autonomously in a distributed team.
6. Strong code review and software design skills with a focus on producing clean, maintainable, and reusable code.
