- Growth mindset: Learns fast and is enthusiastic about learning new technologies
- Time Management: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

What we work with...
dbt for data modelling
Lightdash and Databricks AI/BI Dashboards as business intelligence tools
Databricks Delta Lake for data lake and warehouse storage and querying
