  • Prototype analytical tools, automation solutions, and algorithms to support complex analysis and drive operational efficiency.
  • Collaborate closely with BI, Finance, and cross-functional teams to deliver robust and scalable data products.
  • Create and maintain clear, detailed documentation (configurations, specifications, test scripts, and project tracking).
  • Contribute to Agile development processes, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • 2 years working with orchestration and ingestion tools (e.g., Airflow, Airbyte).
  • 2 years integrating with APIs (SOAP, REST).
  • Experience with cloud data warehouses and modern ELT/ETL frameworks (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, DBT) is a plus.
  • Comfortable working in an Agile environment.
  • Practical knowledge of version control and CI/CD workflows.
  • Experience with automation, including unit and integration testing.
  • Understanding of cloud storage solutions (e.g., S3, Blob Storage, Object Store).
  • Proactive mindset with strong analytical, logical-thinking, and consultative skills.
  • Ability to reason about design decisions and understand their broader technical impact.
  • Strong collaboration, adaptability, and prioritization abilities.
