• Strong background in SQL, Data Engineering and Business Intelligence.
• The ability to leverage new technologies to test, build, and optimize data pipelines, transformations, architectures, and data sets.
• Strong knowledge in a variety of data engines (for example, Snowflake, SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon Aurora, Redshift).
• A solid understanding of dimensional modeling is required.
• Experience with data reporting tools (e.g., Tableau), data cataloging tools (e.g., Alation) and data logging/monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog) is preferred.
• Experience developing and managing data warehouses on a terabyte scale.
