  • Develop tools, frameworks, and workflows that reduce manual processes, enhance data accessibility, and enable data-driven decision-making.
  • Build robust alerting and monitoring systems to maintain data quality and reliability.
  • Collaborate across functions to support experiments and analyses that drive impactful business decisions.
  • Day-to-day experience working closely with software engineering teams, fostering a collaborative environment for data-driven development.

Accelerate Business Growth

  • Work closely with data analysts, data scientists, and product teams to facilitate the extraction of actionable insights.
  • Use tools like Airflow and dbt to streamline ETL/ELT workflows, ensuring seamless data flow and integration.

Strategize, Plan, & Innovate

  • Lead initiatives to research and propose emerging technologies, strengthening our data stack with a focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Participate in design and code reviews, actively contributing to knowledge sharing and mentoring within the team.

Ensure Data Integrity

  • Hands-on experience with NoSQL databases and working knowledge of RESTful and GraphQL APIs for seamless data integrations.
