Strong expertise in AWS and event-driven systems, with hands-on experience in TypeScript. Prior knowledge of Apache NiFi or similar data flow tools is a plus, or a strong willingness to learn NiFi in depth.
Solid understanding of metadata processing, system integrations, and quality assurance in complex technical ecosystems.
Ability to define architectural roadmaps and guide teams through successful execution.
