  • Drive clean API design and integration patterns that support both real-time and batch ingestion while handling diverse authentication mechanisms (OAuth, API keys, etc.).
  • Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting to track data freshness, failures, and performance issues, ensuring transparency and reliability.
  • Optimize data flows and transformations, balancing cost, efficiency, and rapid development cycles in a cloud-native environment.

  • Proficiency in SQL and BigQuery
  • Experience with orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow) to manage and monitor complex data workflows.
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) to deploy and scale workloads.
  • Experience working with ERP systems, CRMs, CDPs, or complex other enterprise data tools and their APIs.
  • Knowledge of data governance, compliance (GDPR, SOC2), and security best practices for handling sensitive data.
  • Experience working in a multi-tenant SaaS or large-scale data-intensive environment.
  • Ability to drive rapid development while ensuring maintainability, balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term platform stability.
  • Bonus Skills & Experience
  • Detailed understanding of authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, API keys, secrets management) and secure multi-tenant architectures.
  • Exposure to event-driven architectures and real-time data processing tools
