About You

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade data pipelines, ETL/ELT workflows, and transformed datasets at scale.
• Expert-level Python; strong experience with dbt, Postgres, BigQuery, and core GCP data services (e.g., Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Storage, Composer).
• Demonstrated experience architecting, optimizing, and troubleshooting cloud-based data infrastructure.
• Familiarity with analytics, BI tools, and data visualization platforms is a plus.
• Startup or contract/consulting experience strongly preferred; you move quickly and commit to clear deliverables and deadlines.

• Low-ego, high-ownership, and passionate about building product-focused solutions.
