Act as a technical mentor and advocate for automation best practices across the broader organization.

Requirements

Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL is mandatory.
Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is highly preferred, but strong previous experience architecting solutions on AWS or Azure is acceptable.
