Advanced SQL expertise
Ability to build and manage large‑scale data systems
Experience designing and implementing data lakes and data warehouses
Strong understanding of data architecture, lifecycle management, and governance

What We’re Looking For
A strategic thinker who can define the long‑term data roadmap
A hands‑on engineer capable of building foundational systems
Someone who can confidently advise executive leadership
A team player with strong communication skills
A solution‑oriented individual who can “come in and tell us where to go”
