- Develop transformations using DBT (Core or Cloud), Spark (PySpark), or other frameworks.
- Collaborate on emerging approaches such as data mesh or specialized templates (e.g., Jina) to handle complex data needs.
- Coding:
- Write reusable, efficient, and scalable code in Python, PySpark, and SQL.
- Integrate serverless computing frameworks or modern API frameworks to support data-driven applications (FastAPI, Flask).
- Develop and maintain data-intensive UIs and dashboards using tools like Streamlit, Dash, Plotly, or React.
- Data Quality Control:
- Establish data governance and data quality frameworks, using either custom solutions or popular open-source/commercial tools (e.g., DBT tests, Great Expectations, Soda).
- Implement data observability solutions to monitor and alert on data integrity and reliability (e.g., Monte Carlo, Alation, or Elementary).
- Define SLAs, SLOs, and processes to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data issues.
- Teamwork:
- Work cross-functionally with data scientists, analysts, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into robust data solutions.
- Follow and advocate for best practices in version control, CI/CD.
- Document data flows, processes, and architecture to facilitate knowledge sharing and maintainability.

- Experience in building and consuming data-intensive APIs using frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.
- Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and implementing CI/CD pipelines.
Soft Skills:
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
Bonus Skills:
- Experience with data streaming platforms such as Kafka or Kinesis.
- Familiarity with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
