- Hands-on experience with modern data warehouses, lakes, and compute/storage technologies (e.g., Snowflake, Pinot, TiDB, Spark, Airflow, Kafka, Trino/Presto).
- Experience designing and building robust ETL pipelines and real-time streaming processes.
- Solid understanding of data governance, lineage, and cost optimization in cloud environments.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, and performant code in production systems.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
