- Strong proficiency in SQL and Python; experience with modern data stacks (e.g., dbt, analytics engineering pipelines)
- Experience working with complex, early-stage datasets and translating them into actionable insights
- Strong product and business mindset, with experience defining KPIs, guardrails, and dashboards that drive decisions
- Solid foundation in statistics, including experimentation and causal inference methods
- Ability to independently own projects end-to-end, from problem framing to delivery

- Experience in B2B SaaS, particularly enterprise AI
- Strong ownership mindset with a focus on delivering business impact
- Ability to manage shifting priorities while executing on core initiatives
- Experience collaborating across time zones
