## About the role

- Prove correctness at scale — build automated reconciliation frameworks that confirm, with confidence, that migrated output matches the source down to the row
- 8+ years a s a hands-on Data Engineer or Software Engineer, with demonstrated experience independently owning complex, multi-stakeholder technical projects from start to finish
- Strong Python and SQL — fluent with complex, unfamiliar legacy code, not just greenfield work
- Apache Spark — deep understanding of distributed processing, performance tuning, partitioning, and debugging at scale
- Apache Airflow — advanced, comfortable designing and authoring production DAG architectures from scratch
