- Comfort working with unstructured data such as PDFs, XML, and email, and extracting and normalizing information from it.
- Practical cloud and DevOps skills, including AWS or GCP, Docker, CI/CD, logging, and monitoring.
- Experience with ETL and data quality controls; familiarity with ledgers, double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, and reconciliation is beneficial.
- Familiarity with event-driven systems such as Kafka or SQS, workflow engines such as Temporal, Airflow, or Prefect, and production LLM deployments is useful.
