Desired Skills:
- Self-driven, delivery-focused, and comfortable working in a contract environment with clear milestones and timelines.
- Curious and methodical—able to research new data sources, open-source tools, and ingestion patterns to propose practical approaches.
- Strong operational mindset: observability, ing, incident response, and continuous improvement to reduce pipeline failures.
- Clear communicator with strong stakeholder management skills; able to surface risks early and provide crisp status updates.
