Cloud: Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure is a must.

Data: SQL (SQL Server, Postgres), with Databricks/ETL experience a plus.

AI/Agentic: Experience with LLM-powered or agentic systems (LangChain, multi-agent orchestration, RAG) is highly valued.

Productivity: Use of modern AI coding assistants (Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development.
