- Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Data Analytics, or related field.
- Deep expertise in SQL (2+ years), with experience building performant, scalable pipelines and data models.
- Strong understanding of data architecture and platform design for scalability.
- Experience with cloud data platforms, ideally GCP or similar.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of complex backend projects.

Collaborative: Able to work cross-functionally and explain complex technical concepts clearly.

Thoughtful: Always looking for ways to enhance performance and reliability.

Data-driven: Structured in your problem-solving and decision-making approach.

Customer-aware: While primarily backend, you understand the importance of supporting customer-facing teams.
