Technical Skills
Deep expertise inrelational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB).
Experience with cloud-native data services (e.g., Azure SQL, AWS RDS, Snowflake, BigQuery).

Solid knowledge of Linux systems, networking, and distributed systems.
Experience with data integration platforms and ETL & scheduling processes (ControlM, VTOM, Tibco)
