  • 10+ years of hands-on programming experience with Scala, Go, Python, and SQL, building robust, high-performance data systems
  • 5+ years of experience building scalable data solutions using Python, Spark, and Terraform
  • Proven experience building serverless and scalable ML infrastructure to support large-scale data processing, ideally in telecom or similarly high-throughput environments
  • Deep expertise in cloud-native data stacks (AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, Synapse)
  • Strong understanding of microservices architecture, event-driven systems (Kafka), and container orchestration (Kubernetes)
  • Experience building operational tools and defining best practices to improve operational efficiency and developer experience-including evaluating and adopting AI-based tools for engineering productivity
  • Experience with orchestration tools like Airflow or Prefect and transformation tools like DBT
  • Proficient in building and scaling APIs (REST/gRPC) for data access and activation
  • Familiarity with front-end technologies and frameworks (e.g., React) is a plus
  • Built distributed Kafka pub/sub model for data ingestion pipeline with queue workers deployed on AWS ECS
  • Automated monitoring, disaster recovery, CI/CD supported with filebeat/cloudwatch serverless monitoring
  • Hands-on experience with data visualization and BI tools (Tableau, PowerBI, Cibe.dev)
  • Strong grasp of data governance, compliance frameworks, and secure data sharing practices
