• Expert-level SQL and Python skills; extensive experience with dbt and modern orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster).

• Hands-on experience building pipelines for ML or LLM-based applications, including feature engineering and model deployment.

• Competency in cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code principles.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience driving cross-team architectural consensus.

• Ability to take end-to-end ownership of product areas and mentor junior engineers in best practices.
