• Hands-on experience with big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Kafka, distributed storage systems).
• Proficiency in Python and SQL.
• Experience building scalable batch and/or streaming pipelines.
• Familiarity with graph processing frameworks or graph databases (e.g., GraphFrames, Neo4j, TigerGraph, NetworkX).
• Understanding of graph traversal techniques (e.g., BFS/DFS, multi-hop queries, relationship aggregation).
• Experience working with large datasets and optimizing performance (joins, partitioning, skew handling).
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) is a plus.
