• Proficiency in SQL and a programming/scripting language (e.g. Python) for data processing and automation.
• Hands-on experience with modern ETL/ELT tools (e.g. Matillion, dbt, Snowflake Openflow) for building data pipelines. Familiarity with BI/analytics tools (e.g. Power BI or Tableau) is a plus for understanding end-to-end data flow.

Nice-to-haves:

• Snowflake SnowPro Core certification (strongly preferred), as it validates your Snowflake expertise. (Advanced Snowflake certifications or a plan to obtain them are a plus.)
