  • Contribute to planning a future transition path (Databricks, Azure Synapse, Snowflake, etc.).
  • Improve orchestration, dependency management, and data quality practices.
  • Identify technical debt and modernize aging ETL components.
  • Collaborate with EDW SMEs to understand business logic and lineage.
  • Build documentation and repeatable processes for modernization.

  • Solid SQL and understanding of Kimball dimensional modeling.
  • Strong Python: Pandas, SQLAlchemy, packaging, module structure, unit testing.
  • Experience with PySpark or Spark (or willingness to ramp quickly).
  • Familiarity with cloud data platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.).
  • Experience in modernizing legacy ETL systems is a major plus.
