If you're just starting out, look for someone with 'Full Data Stack' capabilities, like a Data Analyst with strong SQL and business acumen or a Data Engineer with analytics skills. This person can work closely with other teams to build initial pipelines and help shape your data platform. As your needs evolve, you can grow your team with more specialized roles.

Traditional monitoring often relies on batch processing, leading to delays in inventory updates. It also struggles with data silos, lacks robust data quality monitoring, and is mostly reactive. In contrast, modern observability tools provide real-time insights, dynamic thresholding, and predictive analytics monitoring to keep up with fast-paced retail environments.
