  • Partner with product and commercial leaders to translate market dynamics into data-driven solutions
  • Champion best practice in governance, quality, and observability

  • Strong knowledge of machine learning data pipelines, feature engineering, and Databricks
  • Hands-on skills with Python or .NET for building and integrating services
