  • Proven expertise designing and implementing cloud-native, event-driven data platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • Strong skills in data modeling, ETL/ELT pipelines, and streaming architectures (e.g., Kafka, Event Hubs).
  • Experience with metadata management, lineage, and data quality frameworks.
  • Solid understanding of microservices, APIs, and data product thinking.
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one modern programming language (Python, Scala, Java, .NET).
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code.
