  • Programming Skills : Strong proficiency in Python or Scala, with solid knowledge of SQL.
  • Data Platforms : Hands-on experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and data lake technologies.
  • Streaming & Orchestration : Familiarity with Kafka, Spark, Flink, Airflow, dbt, or similar frameworks.
  • Cloud Expertise : Strong experience with cloud-native data services on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Data Modeling : Understanding of data modeling, governance, and performance optimization for large-scale systems.
  • Startup Mindset : Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and a strong sense of ownership.
  • Education : Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

    • Why Join
