Strong knowledge of the modern data stack including tools such as dbt, Snowflake, Databricks, and orchestration platforms

Experience working with legacy data systems such as ETL pipelines, stored procedures, and batch processing architectures

Proven ability to manage complex technical projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities

Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical teams and executive-level stakeholders

Experience or strong interest in AI-powered tools and a habit of using them to improve productivity and delivery quality

Bonus: prior experience with data platform migrations or large-scale modernization projects

Competitive compensation package including base salary and equity

Opportunity to work on high-impact, large-scale data transformation projects

Exposure to leading modern data platforms and advanced AI-driven engineering tools

Fast-paced, ownership-driven environment with significant autonomy over delivery
