- Data Analysis & Modeling: Write advanced SQL queries and utilize Python to clean, transform, and analyze large-scale datasets.
- Visualization & Storytelling: Build intuitive dashboards in Looker Studio to track KPIs and provide visibility to stakeholders.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate technical findings to non-technical audiences and collaborate with upper management to align data strategy with business goals.
- Software Best Practices: Utilize GitHub and VS Code for version control and collaborative development.
- Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- 5+ years of professional Data Engineer experience
