• Provision and manage infrastructure (Snowflake, Airflow) using Terraform.
• Write high‑quality SQL and Python for ETL tooling, pipeline logic and data product delivery.
• Administer PostgreSQL as the source‑of‑truth operational database – query optimisation, indexing, replication and migrations.
• Lead the transition to change‑data‑capture ingestion using tools such as Debezium.

Required profile

• Proven experience building data platforms from the ground up in a fast‑growing environment.
