• Choose the best tools/services/resources to build robust data pipelines

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data requirements, create robust data models, and deliver actionable insights

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize jobs for performance, addressing data pipeline bottlenecks and ensuring cost efficiency

• Continuously improve engineering processes, balancing speed, quality, and business impact

• Coach, mentor, and provide technical guidance to junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development

• Stay updated on emerging technologies and trends in data engineering, recommending and implementing innovative solutions

• Proficiency in using open-source tools, frameworks like FastAPI, Pydantic, Polars, Pandas, Delta Lake, Docker, Kubernetes

• Knowledge of CI/CD, Git, or infrastructure-as-code concepts

• Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously in an Agile environment

• Understanding of how data engineering feeds into Business Intelligence and reporting tools (Power BI/Tableau)

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

• Strategic thinker and strong execution orientation
