• Strong programming experience in Python along with common packages such as Pandas, Numpy, and Scipy required.
• Practical experience in working with data (whether daily or intraday).
• Direct experience in working with at least one financial asset class.
• Great written and verbal communication skills – good at ELI5.
• Self‑directed and able to take ownership of projects and responsibilities.
