Hands-on experience with modern lakehouse architectures and storage formats such as Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, or Apache Hudi. Deep knowledge of real-time and batch data processing frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Spark, Flink). Practical experience with data interoperability, cost optimization, and vendor management across big data ecosystems. Experience building data platforms that support analytics, GenAI, AI/ML model training, and production-grade inference. Strong understanding of metadata, schema evolution, and lineage tracking in enterprise environments. Excellent collaboration and communication skills-able to operate effectively across technical, product, and executive audiences. Ability to drive architectural vision while remaining hands-on and pragmatic in problem-solving.
