• Curiosity and a passion for turning data into meaningful business value

• Experience working with AWS Redshift, dbt and Databricks
• Experience with AI, M/L tooling and data preparation as well as data orchestration and cataloguing

You’ll be contributing to data initiatives that support our entire global business.
