- Experience with non-relational databases / data stores (object storage, document or key-value stores, graph databases, column-family databases)
- Strong foundation in data governance, access controls, and compliance standards (e.g., IAM least-privilege, data classification, security certifications)
- Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership and advocating for data engineering best practices across cross-functional teams
