• Help drive the development of a data orchestration and ETL/ELT framework for internal business operations and analytics.

• As an internal user of our platform (as well as open-source and cloud technologies like Snowflake, Sigma, Fivetran, etc.) provide regular feedback to the product and engineering teams.

• Develop tools and Airflow extensions to assist internal teams and the greater Apache Airflow community.

What you bring to the role :

• Data engineering and ETL/ELT experience in a production environment

• Python fluency

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and enthusiasm for collaborating in a team-oriented environment
