  • Self-motivated, proactive, and adaptable, with a strong work ethic

  • Empathy-driven approach with a genuine desire to understand and solve customer problems

  • A highly analytical mindset and comfort working with
    data structures, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and storage systems

  • Interest or experience in working with
    large-scale, real-world datasets
