• You enjoy working with peers / new hires to help them understand and apply best practices
• You can prioritize multiple tasks and communicate the overall status of a project.
• You enjoy participating in technical design of systems, schemas, or pipelines and offer sound guidance

• Scripting languages like Python, Ruby

• 3 years of experience in Data Management Tools: 
• Pipeline management tools like Airflow or Luigi, and/or enterprise ETL tools like Informatica, SSIS or Datastage

• 3 years of discovery and assessment of a client’s portfolio, tools, and applications
• 2 years of professional software and consulting experience
• Experience working in cloud environments (AWS or GCP) is a plus.
• Experience with Unix-based OSes a plus!
