• empathy for code‑first users in IDE/CLI
• Fluency in orchestration and data movement: pipelines/DAGs (dependency graphs), runs/retries/backfills, streaming (e.g., Kafka/Flink/Spark), CDC/replication, and Zero ETL
• Familiarity with online data stores (e.g., key‑value, search, relational, caching) and integration with analytical destinations (e.g., Apache Iceberg), including TTL and consistency considerations
• Strength designing data‑dense, system‑oriented interfaces (lineage/dependency graphs, run trees, schema diffs) with embedded trust signals (freshness, status, ownership, change history, SLO/SLA)
• Understanding of permissions/entitlements, data contracts, and compliance constraints and their UX implications
