• Product-oriented mindset with a focus on data usability, consistency, and long-term ownership
• Experience collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and translating ambiguous questions into concrete analytical work
• Familiarity with modern analytics tooling such as dbt, Airflow, Python, and cloud data warehouses (e.g. Redshift, Snowflake). Deep expertise in every tool is not required
• Experience applying AI tools or techniques to analytics or data engineering workflows, with the ability to explain the impact clearly
• Comfort working in regulated or high-stakes environments where correctness, auditability, and trust matter
• Experience in financial services, trading, or accounting is a plus, but not a requirement

• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, operations, finance, compliance, and CX teams to understand stakeholder needs and translate them into durable data solutions
• Take a product-minded approach to analytics: designing datasets for clarity, usability, and long-term maintainability, not just correctness
• Establish and uphold standards for data quality, testing, documentation, and observability
• Use automation and modern tooling to reduce manual work and increase confidence in outputs
• Apply AI-assisted workflows thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, or insight generation, and clearly articulate where and why they add value
