• Solid grounding in OLTP, Data Vault, and data warehouse architecture patterns, with the ability to translate business requirements into dimensional models.
• Experience designing event‑driven architectures and understanding how they shape data pipeline design.
• Familiarity with domain‑driven design concepts and how application architecture changes flow downstream into the warehouse.
• Cloud experience with Azure and/or AWS.
• Comfort working independently across concurrent projects in an Agile environment, with strong communication to non‑technical stakeholders.
