- Strong hands-on comfort in Unix/Shell environments, combined with experience in Spark and Python for data processing and pipeline logic.
- 5+ years working directly in major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- Practical working experience with Git for version control, JIRA for task tracking, and modern IDEs for efficient development.
Nice-to-haves that would make you stand out
- Experience building or extending internal analytics/BI platforms.
- Familiarity with data observability tools or implementing custom monitoring/tracing.
