• Candidates should be comfortable working in agile, fast-paced environments, contributing to iterative delivery and partnering with multiple stakeholders across operations, tech, and risk.

Technical & Domain Expectations

• SQL (e.g., via Starburst) for querying data
• Python for post-query data transformation
• Tableau for dashboards and monitoring tools
• No database modeling or SQL tuning needed

Qualifications:

• 12–15+ years of experience preferred; mid-level talent with relevant skills or payments background welcome
