• Hands‑on experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP), large language models, or generative AI technologies.
• Solid programming foundation beyond analysis—ability to prototype simulations, run model variations, and contribute to codebases.
• Experience blending quantitative data with qualitative methods (e.g., user research, surveys, interviews) to form a holistic view of product impact.
• Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI, and cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Background in a high‑growth environment where rapid iteration and scalability are paramount.
