  • Experience with dbt and understands data modelling principles and best practices
  • Deep understanding of data storage, modelling, and orchestration concepts
  • Has demonstrable experience setting up and managing data pipelines end‑to‑end
  • Brings a collaborative and curious mindset, and enjoys working in cross‑functional teams
