You have at least 4 (but ideally more) years of hands-on experience with data modeling, schema design, data operations, and data warehousing. During that time, you've personally built backend systems at scale with a focus on data processing and ingestion. 📍You’re an ace at Python, Go, Rust and/or Typescript, and you bring incredibly strong expertise in SQL (ideally Parquet, Postgres, and Clickhouse).
