- You have exposure to modern AI approaches, including NLP, generative AI, and LLM-assisted analytics (e.g., semantic search, text classification, summarization, prompt-based analysis)
- You are experienced with modern analytics and data platforms, such as notebooks, BI tools, cloud data warehouses, Spark, and large-scale data processing environments
- You have a strong understanding of data quality, lineage, governance, and the discipline required to produce trustworthy and reusable analyses
