  • Experience working as a full-stack Data Scientist, including writing data pipelines, modeling theory, writing code, and deploying applications in production systems.

  • Experience programming and modeling in Python and data analysis in Pandas / Numpy / SQL.

  • Experience with ETL, data pipelines, and workflow management tools such as Stitch, Fivetran, or Airflow.

  • Experience architecting and using massively parallel processing technology, such as Google Bigquery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.
