    • Solid data modeling, warehousing, and dimensional modeling fundamentals
    • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
    • Practical knowledge of MCP and AI-assisted development tools
    • Familiarity with DataOps and MLOps practices
    • Experience managing sensitive/PII data with attention to compliance and governance
    • Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
