- Data Pipeline Development: Design, implement, and optimize end‑to‑end ETL/ELT pipelines using SQL (Snowflake, PostgreSQL) and Python to ingest, cleanse, and transform data from diverse source systems.
- Data Modeling & Architecture: Create logical and physical data models, define schema structures, and develop partitioning strategies that support large‑scale analytics workloads.
- Automation & Orchestration: Build and maintain automated workflow schedulers (e.g., Airflow, Prefect) to ensure reliable data movement across development, QA, and production environments.
- Quality Assurance: Implement data validation, testing frameworks, and monitoring alerts to guarantee data accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.
- Collaboration: Partner with data scientists, product managers, and business analysts to gather requirements, translate business needs into technical specifications, and deliver data products that meet stakeholder expectations.
- Cloud Infrastructure Management: Leverage cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Databricks) to provision resources, manage security policies, and optimize cost‑effective data storage solutions.
- Version Control & CI/CD: Use GitLab/GitHub for source control, and implement containerized development workflows with Docker to streamline code deployment and environment consistency.
- Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Produce clear technical documentation, data dictionaries, and runbooks; mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal best‑practice libraries.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
- Minimum of 2 years of hands‑on experience designing, building, and supporting ELT/ETL pipelines in a production environment.
- Proficiency in SQL with a focus on Snowflake and PostgreSQL, including complex query optimization and performance tuning.
- Strong programming skills in Python, especially for data manipulation (pandas, NumPy) and automation scripts.
- Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Docker Compose.
- Solid understanding of relational and dimensional data modeling concepts, data warehousing, and data lake architectures.
- Familiarity with version control systems (GitLab, GitHub) and CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
Preferred Qualifications & Nice‑to‑Have Skills
- Hands‑on experience with cloud‑native data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or Amazon Redshift.
- Exposure to big‑data processing frameworks (Spark, Flink) and streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis).

- Experience building and maintaining data quality frameworks and metadata management tools.
- Background in media, entertainment, or consumer‑product data domains, providing context for business‑specific analytics.
- Certifications in AWS, Snowflake, or related cloud technologies.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Analytical Thinking: Ability to dissect complex data problems, identify root causes, and propose scalable solutions.
- Communication: Clear articulation of technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders, and effective documentation of processes.
- Problem‑Solving: Proactive troubleshooting of pipeline failures, performance bottlenecks, and data anomalies.
