• You take ownership, communicate clearly, and enjoy collaborating with engineers and data teams
• You’re pragmatic, improvement-driven, and excited to shape the future of database engineering in a cloud-first world

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with Snowflake or BigQuery, including query performance and cost optimization
• Experience working with workflow orchestration tools such as Prefect, Airflow, or similar
• Experience integrating SQL or dbt linters into CI/CD workflows to enforce code quality and platform standards
