  • Extensive experience with Apache Spark, distributed processing, and large-scale analytical storage systems.
  • Strong data modeling experience, including fact and dimension design, slowly changing dimensions, incremental processing, and historical data management.

  • Experience building reliable pipelines and executing migrations and backfills while preserving correctness and compatibility.
  • Experience with data quality, observability, lineage, governance, incident recovery, and performance optimization.
  • Ability to align technical and business stakeholders, communicate architectural tradeoffs, and drive cross-team decisions.
  • Preferred: experience with AI usage or cost measurement, cloud cost attribution, unit economics, enterprise or financial data, workflow orchestration, SQL transformation frameworks, or Apache Iceberg.
