Experienced Data Engineer : You have 3+ years of hands-on experience building and operating data systems in production.
Strong in Python, SQL & Data Integration : You’re fluent in Python and SQL and have experience with data integration tools such as Fivetran and/or Airbyte.

Cloud & Platform Savvy : You’ve worked with cloud platforms (GCP is a plus) and are familiar with parts of our data stack such as BigQuery, PubSub, DataFlow, GKE, Airflow, Airbyte, FastAPI and Prometheus.
Comfortable with Streaming & Scale : You have experience with streaming pipelines using technologies like Kafka, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, or Apache Beam.
