Prefers someone who worked on a data platform and knows how to build data pipelines / work on large data sets. They use an ETL framework that’s homerown for this but if someone has spark experience or glue or emr that would be applicable. Spark or Pyspark would be ideal.
Cloud experience – needs AWS. They will be using terraform code with IAC so experience with that would be helpful but not full requirement.
