  • Expert in modern data platforms and ETL/ELT tools, with strong SQL and scripting (Python, Java)
  • Hands-on experience with GCP (essential) and AWS
  • Proficient in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD (Jenkins), and DevOps practices including containerization (Docker)
  • Experience leading and mentoring junior engineers
  • Fast learner, hits the ground running, and communicates effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
