• Advanced experience operating Delta tables at scale, covering transaction semantics, schema evolution, partitioning, and compaction, alongside highly optimised analytical query execution using DuckDB or Apache Spark.
• Production-grade relational database expertise, particularly PostgreSQL (query tuning, indexing, partitioning, replication, and schema design across OLTP and analytics).

• Strong experience managing and troubleshooting environments based on visualization and data analytics technologies such as JupyterHub, PowerBI, Streamlit and Marimo.
• Batch and streaming processing proficiency, including late data handling, watermarking, backfills, and explicit throughput vs. latency trade-offs.

• 2+ years of experience in Java, covering react-based applications.
