• 5+ years of professional experience programming in Python, leveraging libraries such as pandas, SQLAlchemy, and Apache Airflow.
• Demonstrated experience with cloud‑based platforms—preferably GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow), AWS (Redshift, Glue), or Azure (Synapse, Data Factory).
• Solid understanding of data warehousing concepts, dimensional modeling, and ELT/ETL best practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and influence decision‑making.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities, coupled with a proactive, self‑directed work ethic.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop, Hive, Spark, or PySpark.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Power BI) and the ability to support analytics teams with curated data sets.
• Background in the health‑care industry, understanding of clinical data standards (HL7, FHIR) and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Knowledge of containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes for deploying data services.
• Exposure to DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
