• Experience with ANTLR

• “Full stack” experience into the front-end layer with basic knowledge of React, Vue.js, and/or Typescript

• Experience with deploying and operating software on Kubernetes

• Strong opinions on the state of data engineering, ML/AI, and data movement solutions or academic literature – and what’s next in the field
