• Expanding support for various use cases, including business intelligence, data science, machine learning, and client-facing analytics.
• Handling sensitive data with the utmost care and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical solutions into clear, understandable insights for stakeholders.

You’re an especially awesome match if you have: 

• Experience with streaming technologies (e.g., Kinesis) and processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Flink or Spark).
• Knowledge of on-demand query tools like Athena.
