You have 4+ years of hands‑on experience designing, building, and optimizing data engineering solutions in production environments, and deep familiarity with modern data technologies. Experience in most, but not all, of the following is expected:

• Cloud Platforms & Warehouses — Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Azure Synapse Analytics, Amazon EMR
