  • Performance and operations. Monitor graph performance, tune indexes and queries, and assist with environment management across development, validation, and production tiers.
  • Collaboration and documentation. Partner with cross functional teams, analysts, and domain subject-matter experts to gather requirements; document data models, lineage, and design decisions clearly for technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Exposure with any data analysis programming languages (e.g., SQL, Python & Apache Spark, SAS & R) including structured and unstructured data.

Preferred:
