* Data Language Fluency: Expert-level SQL (complex queries, performance tuning) and Python (plus shell scripting in Bash/Unix).
* Schedule Alignment: Must be fully comfortable working up to 8:00 PM CET (which perfectly maps to a standard 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM CST workday!).
Nice-to-Have Skills (Stand Out from the Crowd)
