• Support the development and operation of modern data architecture approaches to meet key business objectives and provide end-to-end data solutions.
• Contribute to shared frameworks for data ingestion, processing, and integrations where appropriate, growing toward independent framework work over time.
• Extend DevOps capabilities for deploying data solutions.

• Act as a data owner and functional data subject matter expert for the assigned area.

• Beginner exposure to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) — willingness to develop deeper cloud and DevOps skills on the job
• Foundational SQL proficiency — able to write and read queries with support; familiarity with tools such as dbt or Snowflake is a plus
• Beginner to intermediate Python — able to read and write pipeline code with support from senior engineers; JavaScript and R are a plus
• Experience building APIs is desirable; experience with GraphQL is a plus
• Awareness of DevOps and CI/CD concepts; hands-on experience is a plus but not required
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies
• Ability to manage own tasks and deadlines; strong communication skills
• Self-starter, driven with high business process acumen
• Team player with a positive attitude and ability to work across different business stakeholder and technical teams to accomplish complex tasks
