• Detailoriented, coachable, and comfortable asking questions and working through feedback
• Able to document work clearly and communicate findings to nontechnical stakeholders
• Bonus (not required): exposure to Excel/Google Sheets or a BI tool (Power BI/Tableau), and interest in learning simple ETL concepts
  
  

Reasons to Love It

• Learn directly from experienced data engineers while working on meaningful, production datasets
• Clear growth path from SQL fundamentals to broader data engineering skills over time
• Supportive team culture that values curiosity, reliability, and steady skill development
