   • Experience with data transformation and modeling, preferably using dbt (or alternatives like Coalesce).

   • Knowledge of orchestration and pipeline tools, preferably Airflow (or alternatives such as Dagster or Prefect).

Nice to Have Skills & Experience:

   • Familiarity with data streaming frameworks like Kafka or Event Hub.

   • SQL Server BI stack experience, including SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS.

   • Ability to code data integration solutions independently when needed.

Perks & Benefits:

   • 3 different medical health insurance plans, dental, and vision insurance.
