• Support data discovery, catalog, and analytics tooling
• Implement and maintain data security measures and ensure compliance with data governance policies

• Hands-on experience with ETL/ELT, schema design, and datalake technologies
• Hands-on experience with data orchestration tools like Dagster, Airflow, Prefect

• Strong SQL knowledge and experience optimizing for relational databases
• Strong knowledge of Python for use in data transformation

We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
