  • Familiarity with NoSQL stores like Cassandra, HBase, or similar

  • Understanding of data modeling for analytics and reporting

  • Proficient in English with strong communication skills — able to explain or demo work to non-engineers

  • Self-driven — picks up new technologies and frameworks with little guidance

  • Debugs methodically; breaks complex problems into smaller steps

  • Open to feedback — iterates and improves through code reviews

  • Uses AI-assisted engineering tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) as part of daily workflow

  • Reliable internet connection to sustain video, audio, and screen sharing

It'd be great if you had:

  • Experience with dbt, Databricks, or real-time data pipelines

  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure tools like Terraform or CloudFormation

  • Interest in data governance, ML pipelines, or compliance standards

  • Personal projects or open source contributions demonstrating initiative

Why you'll love working here:
