  • Experience with data or business intelligence tools or applications (e.g., SQL, Looker, Tableau, Mode, Amplitude, Google Analytics)
  • Demonstrated ability to set technical vision and influence a team without requiring formal authority
  • Proficiency with AI coding tools and workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor)

NICE TO HAVES
