• Exposure to data governance, data cataloging, and MDM practices.
• Knowledge of data vault modeling, star schema, and snowflake modeling.
• Experience designing real-time/streaming data pipelines (Kafka, Event Hubs, Spark Streaming, etc.).
• Familiarity with API platforms and tools such as Postman or API gateways.
• Experience tuning large-scale Spark workloads and optimizing cloud compute costs.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across both technical and non-technical teams.

Key Competencies

• Analytical and meticulous mindset with a strong ability to solve complex data design and engineering challenges.
• Ability to balance short-term deliverables with long-term enterprise strategy.
