The maze of data keeps growing — vast, complex, and ever-changing. My client needs someone who can see the patterns others can’t. Someone who can build order out of chaos. Someone who doesn’t flinch when the code breaks or the pipeline floods.

Minimum 5+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale data systems
Expertise in Python, SQL, and modern data stack tools (Airflow, dbt, Spark)
Mastery of GCP — BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and beyond
Deep understanding of credit domain data — loan origination, risk, scoring, repayment
The mindset of a strategist, the hands of a builder, and the courage to face the unknown

If you’re ready to step into the maze — to design the data systems that guide the way out — my client is ready for you.
