- Strong foundation in both data and software engineering, designing and building scalable data pipelines and ML-ready datasets in hybrid environments spanning on‑prem infrastructure and public cloud platforms (i.e. AWS)
- A solid understanding of the data lifecycle, including feature engineering, model integration, deployment support, and monitoring
- Experience building or enabling AI-driven automation (e.g., agents, workflow orchestration, or decision engines) that reduces manual effort
- Experience with DevOps and CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions to automate testing, builds, and deployments for data and ML pipelines
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical ideas into practical, business-focused solutions
