• Experience with Python and Bash for scripting and automation
• Experience with common data libraries and platforms such as Airflow, PySpark, Pandas, etc.
• Expertise with SQL queries and query optimization, ideally in BigQuery
• Experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines (ideally in GitLab)

From a leadership perspective:

• Passion about introducing engineering best practices, for instance to ensure testability, data quality and completeness, etc
• Some leadership experience, for example mentoring other team members as a senior engineer, or having led a team before
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, both with engineers and non-technical stakeholders
