Job Requirements
- 5–7 years of experience in a customer-facing engineering role, DevOps, or SRE with increasing scope and complexity.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), especially in automation and cloud cost administration

- 2–5 years of hands-on experience with SQL and/or Big Query with a strong grasp of BI principles and embedded analytics.
- Strong SQL skills with experience in data modeling, ETL design, and working across relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).

- Strong communicator with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and drive customer engagement.
- Comfortable leading customer calls, trainings, and escalations in a professional, consultative manner.
- Nice-to-have: scripting in Python for data manipulation, and version control (Git).
- Experience working with CRM/support tooling like Zendesk, Jira, and Confluence.
