• Excellent problem‑solving skills with the ability to identify and troubleshoot complex technical issues.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Must be able to work in a hybrid environment, spending an average of 1–2 days per week at a company or customer‑designated location. Flexibility is required to adapt to schedule changes as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience or familiarity with Big Data platforms such as Hadoop‑based distributions, Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR, or similar systems.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitLab CI, Travis CI, Jenkins, or similar platforms.
• Understanding of Agile software development methodologies.
• Experience using standard software development and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, GitHub, GitLab, or similar tools.
