• Keen sense for identifying business needs and can communicate a clear vision for implementing solutions.

• Strong communication skills, capable of explaining technical issues to non-technical audiences.

• Experience designing and building multi-tenant SaaS platforms that ensure data isolation, scalability, and robust security.

Ways to stand out:

• Experience with third party data ingestion/integrations (Inbound and outbound)

• Experience with batch or streaming data pipelines.

• Experience with cloud service providers in a production setting (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
