  • Communication: Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical issues clearly.
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native data services.
  • Familiarity with distributed data processing frameworks like Apache Spark or Databricks.
