• Experience working with large-scale data systems
• Familiarity with columnar formats (Parquet) and modern table formats (Iceberg)
• Experience with Databricks
• Prior consulting, advisory, or client-facing delivery experience
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments
• Proven independent delivery without close supervision
