• Proven expertise with at least one of the following: Postgres, MySQL, or SQL Server at production scale (e.g., TB-scale datasets, concurrency, replication, tuning).
• Strong command of SQL reasoning—you know how to debug, explain, and optimize queries, not just write them.
• Experience designing and evolving data models (normalized and denormalized) to support analytical or operational use cases.
• Familiarity with data pipeline frameworks (e.g., Airflow, DBT, custom orchestration).
• Systems thinking and ownership mindset—you’re comfortable solving ambiguous, cross-functional problems from end to end.
