• Solid understanding of data engineering fundamentals.
  
• Experience working with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  
• Version control (Git) and basic CI/CD exposure for deploying pipeline code.
  
• Experience working directly with stakeholders to translate business needs into data solutions.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
