  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python for data transformations and automation.
  • Hands-on experience with modern data stack tools (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, Airflow, Looker).
  • Excellent business communication skills to translate data insights into actionable business strategies.
  • Experience with data dashboarding and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Superset, Mode).
  • Ability to manage, optimize, and scale data infrastructure.

Nice to Have
  • Global supply chain experience in transportation and logistics.
  • Previous experience setting up a data stack in a startup from scratch.
