What You’ll Bring To Circle
  • 2+ years of direct people management experience, with a track record of coaching, mentoring, and growing data engineers.
  • 7+ years of hands-on data experience with strong data architecture, modeling, and pipeline development skills.
  • Deep proficiency in SQL within modern data warehouse environments (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, etc.).
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages (Python, Java, Scala), with the ability to guide and review technical work.
  • Experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, DBT) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Experience in data provenance, governance, and big data technologies (including open-source solutions).
  • Background in blockchain or financial data is a plus.
