• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
• Bachelor's, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
• Familiarity with BI tools such as Looker for reporting and dashboarding
• Exposure to other environments such as Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, Azure, or DBT
• Understanding of observability, monitoring, and logging in GCP
