Mastery in writing complex, optimized SQL queries and managing relational database schemas.
Experience with modern cloud data platforms, transformation tools, and code-driven orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).
Experience with common software tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub) for CI/CD and version control of data infrastructure.

Preferred Qualifications:

Proficiency in Python and PySpark for data engineering, data manipulation, API consumption, and automation scripts.
Experience using Informatica for API and database extraction.
Experience implementing automated data quality, monitoring, and lineage tooling (e.g., Monte Carlo, Great Expectations, Soda, or Databricks Unity Catalog).
Experience building data pipelines for machine learning, natural language processing, or vector database/RAG workflows.
Experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or CloudFormation).

Clearance Requirements:

U.S. Citizen

Physical Requirements:

Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50%.
Needs to occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, etc.
