  • Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or AI-native IDEs such as Cursor or Windsurf) and with extending AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and reusable skills is a plus.
  • Exposure to vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines (e.g., Pinecone, pgvector, or Snowflake Cortex Search) for LLM-powered applications is a plus.
  • Experience working within cloud-native AWS serverless data and integration products.
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Expertise in Python for data processing, automation, and production-grade development.

  • Experience building, deploying, and optimizing Snowflake Cortex AI using best practices.
  • Experience with deployment tools such as Terraform, GitHub Actions, and ECR.
  • Experience with infrastructure monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Amazon CloudWatch.
  • Understanding of Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI/reporting tools.
  • Familiarity with data pipeline technologies and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, DBT Cloud).
  • Experience with Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, or Athena.
  • Familiarity with modern lakehouse table formats such as Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, or Apache Hudi is a plus.

  • Exposure to streaming and real-time data processing tools such as Kafka, Flink, or Spark Streaming is a plus.
  • Familiarity with web scraping, APIs, and data integration best practices.
  • Experience working in an Agile development environment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
