Experience with Databricks, Spark, or PySpark is highly desirable, particularly for working with data pipelines and analytics driven applications.
Experience building or supporting cloud native applications on AWS and/or Azure, with familiarity in CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, observability, automated testing, and production support practices.
Demonstrated ability to lead team level design discussions, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and guide implementation through technical influence.
Ability to translate product and business needs into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
