• Have programming proficiency in Python, or Scala/Java. You have a software engineering mindset and strive to write elegant, maintainable code. You may even be a software engineer with a focus or passion for data-driven solutions.

• Have strong SQL skills and knowledge

• You have excellent communication in sharing context to effectively collaborate with analytical partners, domain experts, and other consumers of your work, preferably in supporting an engineering or product function. We like to collaborate across teams, and so do you.

• You are ambitious and willing to take action but not stubborn. You have the awareness to recognize when you're wrong and move past your own mistakes. You are humbly confident in yourself and your work.
