• Proficiency in Python and experience building data pipelines in modern orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, AWS Glue)
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP and data warehouses like Redshift
• Experience working with APIs, NoSQL databases, and distributed data systems
• Ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders to solve complex business problems

• Remote-first flexibility with intentional in-person collaboration opportunities
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package
