• Experience using Dataform.
• Experience with Airflow / Cloud Composer.
• Strong data engineering fundamentals, including building scalable and robust production data solutions.
• Experience working with data quality, governance and appropriate data controls.
• Confidence operating in environments where requirements may initially be ambiguous.
• An investigative approach, with the ability to ask the right questions, find answers and independently move work forward.

• At least 5 years’ experience in a data-related profession, including at least 2 years within an engineering-focused role. DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code.
