• Working knowledge of message queuing, stream processing, and highly scalable big data data-stores.


• Strong project management and organizational skills.


• Experience supporting and working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment.


• 6+ years of experience in a Data Engineer role, who has attained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Informatics, Information Systems, or another quantitative field. Master's degree preferred.


• Experience with big data tools: Hadoop, Spark, Kafka.
