  • Experience building predictive models and analytics pipelines
  • Experience with developing and deploying tools used for data analysis
  • Experience in a technical operational role under the pressure of a live service or production environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to make presentations to engineers, team members, internal customers, and management
