Demonstrated autonomy in an environment with open ended problems.
Availability to work in office in San Mateo 3x days per week.
Preferred
Proficiency in Python or similar languages.
Experience with Google BigQuery.
Experience working with dbt, Coalesce, Airflow, or similar.
Experience using a data quality or observability tool (Bigeye, Monte Carlo, Great Expectations, or similar).
