 * Familiarity with data systems (e.g. Bigquery, Snowflake, Kafka)
 * Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems

 * Solid understanding of RESTful design, event driven systems, and security best practices
 * Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
 * Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on
