Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of experience in data engineering or modern data platform delivery
  • Strong foundations in SQL, data pipelines, ETL/ELT concepts, cloud-based data platforms, and working with data models (implemented or shadowed, not necessarily designed)
  • Experience delivering end-to-end project work - exposure to development, testing, deployment, and production support
  • The confidence to discuss, debate, and push back when needed
  • Clear, thoughtful communication skills and an ability to translate complex topics into simple conversations
  • A natural inclination to mentor and support junior team members
  • Curiosity, resourcefulness, and a willingness to speak up, ask good questions, and learn fast

Benefits
