  • Familiarity with data governance, lineage, and security in cloud environments
  • Experience integrating AI/LLM tools into engineering workflows is a plus
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

  • 5–8 years of experience in data engineering or data warehousing
  • Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (AWS strongly preferred)
