While not mandatory, we highly value candidates who possess the following skills and experience:
- Proficiency in Elixir, Python, Ruby, or SQL.
- Experience working with AWS Glue or Spark.
- Familiarity with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools.
- Expertise in visualization tools like Tableau or PowerBI.
