Your skills and experience

• Scala Programming : Developers must be proficient in Scala, including functional programming concepts, object-oriented programming, and common libraries.
• Apache Spark : Deep understanding is critica in Spark SQL, DataFrames, Datasets, RDDs (at least conceptually), performance tuning (e.g., partitioning, caching, shuffle operations), UDFs, Spark streaming (if applicable), understanding of Spark execution model.
• SQL: "Majority of individual controls will involve externalized SQL scripts." This implies heavy reliance on strong SQL skills. Complex joins, subqueries, window functions, aggregate functions, DDL/DML, query optimization. Experience with various SQL dialects (e.g., Impala SQL, Trino SQL, Spark SQL) is a plus, but strong ANSI SQL is foundational.

• Data Warehousing/Lake Concepts : Understanding the principles behind storing and processing large datasets, especially with the transition to Iceberg. ETL/ELT concepts, data modeling (star schema, snowflake schema), data quality, data governance, understanding of schema evolution.

Soft skills

• Problem-solving: Ability to diagnose and fix complex issues in distributed systems.
• Communication: Clearly articulate technical concepts and collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
• Proactive Learning: Given the evolving tech stack (Iceberg, Trino), a willingness and ability to quickly learn new technologies is vital.
