Bachelor's degree in CS or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience in full-stack software engineering or software development. Strong understanding of backend systems, APIs, service architecture, data modeling, and modern application design. Experience working with structured data platforms, semantic layers, data pipelines, and cloud-based data systems. Working knowledge of SQL and strong technical fluency in how data moves from source systems into user-facing product experiences. Experience building or supporting products that use AI or LLM capabilities in production. Ability to write requirements that engineers trust and can execute without guesswork. Willingness to move fast, iterate aggressively, fail, rebuild, and improve the product through repeated cycles of learning. Strong judgment in balancing technical constraints, business needs, and user experience. Strong organizational and communication skills, able to keep multiple workstreams moving, align cross-functional teams, and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. Prior experience as a conduit between external partners and internal product teams, comfortable synthesizing feedback into actionable product input. Experience building platform products, internal tools, data products, or AI-enabled enterprise applications. Experience with products that combine metric layers, semantic data layers, dashboards, and natural language interfaces.
