- Hands-on experience with test automation (e.g., Python or similar) and writing SQL queries for data validation and reconciliation.
- Experience testing data warehouses/lakes and pipelines; familiarity with data quality concepts and tooling is a plus.
- Exposure to Microsoft Azure services and modern data platforms (e.g., Synapse, Snowflake).
