• Document data lineage, pipeline architecture, and operational procedures to promote knowledge sharing and compliance.

Essential Qualifications

• Proven experience in data engineering concepts, including data pipeline design, dataset architecture, and ETL processes.
• Strong command of SQL and hands‑on experience with relational databases such as Microsoft SQL Server.
• Familiarity with NoSQL technologies, particularly Cassandra, and the ability to design schemas for high‑availability workloads.
• Hands‑on experience with Apache Airflow (or similar workflow orchestration tools) for building reliable ETL pipelines.
• Solid programming skills in Python and/or Scala, with the ability to write clean, maintainable code for data transformations.
• Experience working with streaming platforms like Apache Kafka for real‑time data ingestion.
• Demonstrated ability to containerize applications using Docker and manage deployments with Kubernetes.
• Exposure to cloud services on Azure and GCP, including storage (Blob, Cloud Storage), compute (VMs, Kubernetes Engine), and data services (BigQuery, Azure Synapse).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of presenting technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Self‑driven mindset with a strong sense of ownership, accountability, and a commitment to delivering high‑quality results.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Hadoop ecosystem tools such as Hive, Spark, or Presto for large‑scale data processing.
• Knowledge of data warehousing concepts and hands‑on experience with cloud‑native warehouses like Snowflake or Redshift.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and infrastructure‑as‑code tools (Terraform, ARM templates).
• Background in advertising technology, e‑commerce analytics, or similar high‑velocity data domains.
• Professional certifications in cloud platforms (Azure Administrator, Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer).
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading small technical initiatives.
