  • Experience integrating AI/ML or LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) into data workflows.

  • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines with Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform.

  • Knowledge of modern data warehousing (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake) and data governance principles (GDPR, HIPAA).

  • Strong ability to translate business goals into technical architecture and mentor teams through delivery.

  • Familiarity with visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) to communicate data insights, even if not a primary responsibility.
