• Strong understanding of time‑series analysis, statistical modeling, and machine‑learning techniques.
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development and analytical tools is a plus.
• Knowledge of U.S. natural gas markets, infrastructure, or other energy markets is a significant plus but not mandatory.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Education
