If You Got It - We Want It
- Strong SQL and Python fundamentals; experience with ELT patterns and data modeling
- Exposure to Snowflake or a similar cloud warehouse (databricks, redshift, duckdb), and familiarity with dbt or equivalent frameworks
- Experience building cloud applications or backend services (APIs, ingestion services, event-driven workflows)
- Hands-on experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration (e.g., Prefect, Airflow) and production-grade engineering practices (logging, alerting, versioning, CI/CD)
- Clear, concise communication and the ability to collaborate across data, engineering, and business teams
