• 1+ years of management or technical leadership experience is a plus
• Deep expertise in modern lakehouse technologies such as Snowflake and Clickhouse
• Experience implementing modern data orchestration patterns for big data use-cases, including batch and streaming workloads
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python or Scala, including performance optimization and large-scale ETL design
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, set standards, and influence decisions across teams
• Comfort owning systems end-to-end, including monitoring, reliability, and cost management
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
