• Strong programming skills in Python and/or Java.
• Hands-on experience with cloud data and AI platforms.

Mandatory Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Python (and/or Java) for building data integration services.
• Experience with REST and GraphQL APIs, SDKs, and OAuth2 or service-principal authentication.
• Hands-on experience with at least two of: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift or Azure Synapse.
• Exposure to AI/ML platforms such as AWS SageMaker, AWS Bedrock, Azure ML, Azure OpenAI or Vertex AI.
