• Experience designing and supporting large-scale data platforms, applications, and distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure and automation, preferably within Azure environments.
• Hands-on experience with full stack development, including APIs, backend services, application logic, and user interface development.
• Experience with data integration tools such as Apache NiFi, Azure Data Factory, Pentaho, Talend, or similar platforms.
• Knowledge of streaming data technologies such as Kafka and analytics engines such as Spark or Storm.
• Experience working with Git, source control, CI/CD, deployment pipelines, and DevOps practices.
• Strong troubleshooting, performance tuning, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience applying AI and machine learning techniques to solve business problems and support intelligent decision-making.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled applications, model-driven services, automation, and production ML deployments.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and business teams.
• Experience operating within highly regulated, security-focused environments, including PII and PCI-DSS requirements.

• Experience within banking, payments, fintech, e-commerce, or credit card industries is highly desirable.
• Exposure to both SaaS and on-premise architectures, along with experience supporting SAP HANA or Teradata environments, will be considered a strong asset.
