• Data Platforms: Hands-on experience with modern warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) and data lakes.
• Streaming & Orchestration: Knowledge of Kafka, Spark, Flink, Airflow, dbt, or similar frameworks.
• Cloud Expertise: Proficiency with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including security and compliance tooling.
