 * Ability to prototype and deploy statistical and machine learning algorithms, and translate analytical outputs into data-driven solutions
 * Experience deploying ML/AI technologies into production or applied business environments is a plus
 * While we advocate using the right tech for the right task, we often leverage: Python, PySpark, the PyData stack, SQL, Airflow, Databricks, Kedro (our open-source data pipelining framework), Dask/RAPIDS, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud solutions such as AWS, GCP, and Azure
 * Familiarity with Generative AI (GenAI) and agentic systems is a strong plus
 * Excellent time management skills to handle responsibilities in a complex and largely autonomous environment
 * Willingness to travel
