Strong Python, SQL, and Databricks skills (especially PySpark & Delta Lake)
Deep experience with Azure: Data Factory, Synapse, Event Hub, Azure Functions
Understanding of MLOps tooling like MLflow and integration with AI pipelines
Exposure to data for LLM workflows, unstructured sources, and real-time ingestion
Comfortable operating in an early-stage environment, with minimal structure and high ownership
