  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups.
  • Strong communicator, able to explain risks, trade-offs, and roadmap decisions to both senior technical audiences and non-specialist stakeholders.
  • Experience designing or adopting AI/ML-powered automation in data workflows (pipeline orchestration, intelligent monitoring, automated remediation, or LLM-integrated tooling).
  • Proficiency in Python, Scala, or Java in a production data platform context.
  • Solid understanding of cloud-native data infrastructure (AWS preferred — Glue, Athena, S3, EMR, Lambda, or equivalents).
