- Strong data modeling and SQL plus production-quality Python, with proven ownership of data reliability through SLAs, SLOs, quality monitoring, incident response, and root-cause work
- Practical governance experience across lineage, cataloging, and access control, including PII and payments data, and good judgment about where AI and machine learning belong and where they add risk
