• Advanced SQL proficiency and strong Python coding skills
• Proven experience modernizing enterprise database environments
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for data platforms, preferably Azure DevOps
• Strong understanding of database performance tuning and availability design
• Experience designing systems for high availability and operational reliability

The following skills are preferred, but not required:

• Experience with CDC, streaming, or event-driven ingestion architectures is a plus
• Familiarity with enterprise CRM (Salesforce, home grown) or billing platforms (Great Plains, Dynamics) and data integration across these as data sources into a cloud DWH
• Experience with Elasticsearch or similar search/indexing platforms
