• Strong software engineering background with expertise in Python, especially PySpark.
• Experience with and thorough understanding of Kafka and Kafka Connect concepts.

• Experience building and orchestrating data pipelines using Airflow or similar tools.
• Proficient in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows using GitHub or similar platforms.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to write clean, modular, and well-documented code.
