  • Strong expertise in building ETL/ELT pipelines using modern frameworks (e.g., Dagster, dbt, Airflow)
  • Deep knowledge of data modeling (star/snowflake schemas, denormalization, dimensional modeling)
  • Hands-on with SQL (advanced queries, performance tuning, window functions, etc.)

  • Experience with real-time or stream processing (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.)
  • Understanding of data governance, privacy, and security best practices
  • Exposure to machine learning pipelines or collaboration with data science teams
  • Startup experience — able to handle ambiguity, fast pace, and end-to-end ownership
