- Prepare, transform, and engineer data for ML and GenAI use cases.
- Partner with business teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven process improvements.
- Evaluate emerging AI technologies and recommend practical business applications.
- Design and develop dashboards, reports, and visualizations that drive business decisions.
- Translate complex datasets into intuitive and actionable insights.
- Work closely with leadership and business stakeholders to define KPIs and success metrics.
- Build self-service analytics solutions where appropriate.
- Rapidly learn unfamiliar systems, platforms, and technologies.
- Assess new tools and determine technical feasibility, integration requirements, and business value.
- Serve as a technical problem solver capable of navigating ambiguity.
- Stay current with emerging trends in AI, machine learning, analytics, cloud technologies, and software development.
- Strong software development experience using one or more modern programming languages:
- Python
- Java
- C#
- JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience building and consuming APIs and web services.
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with enterprise-scale datasets.
- Experience developing data pipelines and automation workflows.
- Understanding of cloud platforms and data ecosystems.
