• Deep experience with ETL/ELT, orchestration, schema design, and data modeling using tools such as dbt, Airflow, or similar technologies.

• Strong understanding of batch and real-time data architectures, including streaming and change data capture (CDC) technologies and their operational tradeoffs.

• Demonstrated experience designing data quality controls, testing frameworks, monitoring, observability, and production support practices for critical data pipelines.

• Strong working knowledge of Git-based development, CI/CD, automated testing, and modern software engineering practices for data systems.

• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex and ambiguous technical problems, exercise sound judgment, and communicate tradeoffs and recommendations to senior technical and business stakeholders.
