Write clean, tested Python and SQL
Review code and keep the team's CI/CD and version control practices solid
Mentor other data engineers on the team
Required Qualifications
5+ years of hands-on data engineering experience, with real ownership of production pipelines (not just contributing to them)

Proficiency with Apache Spark for distributed/batch processing
Experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration
Solid track record building and managing Jenkins pipelines
Strong PostgreSQL skills, including query optimization and schema design in an on-prem setting
Experience running ETL workflows in on-prem environments, not just cloud-native setups
Strong SQL and Python skills
