• SQL Skills: Strong SQL skills and experience optimizing analytical queries.

• Data Formats: Practical experience with Parquet and/or Avro.

• Infrastructure Awareness: Good understanding of Azure resource structure, environments, and operational best practices.

• Analytical & Team-Oriented Mindset: Solution-focused approach with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
