  • Proficiency in Python or R (pandas, NumPy, Jupyter) and strong SQL skills
  • Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
  • Solid understanding of statistical modeling, experimentation, and A / B testing
  • Strong communication skills for translating technical work into strategic insights
  • 4\. More About the Opportunity
