• Experience designing pipelines on large‑scale data platforms such as Apache Flink, Kafka, Spark, Hive, or similar.
• Solid understanding of data privacy principles, including data minimization, tokenization, and compliance frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
• Ability to translate business requirements into flexible data models and pipelines that scale horizontally.
• Excellent problem‑solving mindset, with a passion for learning new technologies and improving existing processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a highly regulated environment or on privacy‑focused projects.
• Familiarity with arenaflex‑specific data platforms (Flash, Voila) or similar proprietary systems.
• Knowledge of data‑security tools such as Apache Ranger, AWS KMS, or Google Cloud DLP.
