  • Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and drive end-to-end delivery for scoped problem areas while partnering effectively with engineering and product.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills; proven ability to work across technical and non-technical audiences.


Preferred
  • Master's Degree in STEM of Quantitative field.
  • Experience building solutions intended for product scale (deployment considerations, monitoring, reliability, documentation, adoption).
  • Experience with GenAI approaches (prompting patterns, evaluation, safety/quality considerations) applied to business use cases.
