• Expertise in querying relational databases (SQL) and programming languages (e.g., R / Python)
• Deep understanding of online experimentation (A/B testing), causal inference, and statistical techniques
• Comfortable in innovative and fast-paced environments, and a bias toward action
• Strong technical communication / data storytelling skills and demonstrated ability to discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences alike
• Able to tackle ambiguous and undefined problems by creating an action plan, getting feedback, and iterating
