Technical Stack: Strong command of core data engineering tools and languages, specifically Python, SQL, and Spark.
Cloud & Warehousing: Hands-on experience with cloud-based data platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and modern cloud data warehousing solutions like Snowflake.
Problem-Solving: Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex, production-level data issues.
Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to collaborate in a cross-functional environment.

Preferred Qualifications
