- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with streaming or near-real-time data processing (Kafka, Kinesis, etc).
- Hands-on experience with data orchestration tools (Airflow, Step Functions, etc).
