- Experience with ETL/ELT tools and orchestration frameworks (e.g. Airflow, dbt, or similar).
- Strong Python or equivalent programming experience.
- Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP).
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable working with both technical and business stakeholders.
- Must be based in the US and able to work US business hours.
