• Familiarity with Agile delivery practices and DevOps tooling (IaC, CI/CD, automated deployment)
• Excellent communication skills - able to translate complex technical concepts into business language
• Background in large-scale software development or data engineering, enabling credible contribution to technical conversations on both the application and data/AI sides
