- Identify gaps or unexpected behavior and escalate when needed.
- Handle sensitive customer data with care.

- Strong ownership and attention to detail.
- Technical aptitude and ability to learn new tools quickly.
- Familiarity with Python, SQL, APIs, or data workflows.
- Clear, concise written communication.
- Ability to follow runbooks and recognize when something falls outside them.
- Good judgment around customer data and production systems.
- Reliability and availability for scoped, hourly work.
Nice to Have
- Experience working with large datasets or data pipelines.
- Familiarity with cloud storage and data transfer workflows.
- Experience with command-line tools, Git, or Linux environments.
- Exposure to ETL, data ingestion, validation, or QA workflows.
- Experience debugging technical issues using logs and monitoring tools.
- Familiarity with common data formats such as JSON, CSV, or Parquet.
- Experience in a startup, technical operations, implementation, or customer-facing engineering environment.
