• Deep experience with dbt (data build tool) for managing the T in ELT, including documentation and testing.

• Proven experience with Apache Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster for managing complex dependency graphs.

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, BigQuery, or AWS Redshift.

• Strong understanding of Dimensional Modeling (Star/Snowflake schema) and Data Vault 2.0.

• Experience with Git, Docker, and implementing CI/CD for data pipelines.

Nice-to-Have:

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) experience.

Responsibilities:
