• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and general relational database concepts, including querying, integration, and basic performance optimization.
• Experience with workflow orchestration and data pipelines, ideally using Nextflow (considered a strong plus, but not mandatory).
• Knowledge of cloud-based data platforms and services, preferably with hands-on experience with AWS (e.g. S3, Lambda, Glue, Step Functions, Spark) and related technologies such as Snowflake or Databricks, combined with strong analytical skills, a collaborative mindset, and excellent English communication, with a focus on quality, documentation, and engineering best practice.
