Python skills with practical experience building data pipelines, automation scripts, integrations, and reusable components.

Ability to write clean, maintainable, testable code following modern engineering best practices.

Should-Have Requirements

Deep understanding of ETL/ELT design principles, including orchestration, dependency management, error handling, and data validation.

Prior experience implementing template-based and configuration-driven frameworks for ETL processes is highly desirable.

Ability to design, optimize, and troubleshoot complex data movement pipelines.
