• Ensure data solutions meet enterprise standards for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Communicate technical findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Troubleshoot complex and ambiguous problems, adapting solutions as requirements evolve.
• Actively participate in agile ceremonies (stand‑ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives) and manage tasks effectively within sprint commitments. 
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience writing clean, efficient, and maintainable production code. 
• Hands‑on experience with data engineering, analytics pipelines, and integrations in a modern data platform environment.
• Familiarity with MLOps concepts, deployment patterns, and collaboration with ML/AI teams.
• Experience working in a DevOps-oriented environment, including Git-based version control and collaborative development workflows.
• Proven ability to work effectively in an agile delivery model.
