• Required proficiency with data visualization tools (Tableau/Looker) and expert skills in programming languages such as Python (with NumPy/Pandas) and SQL for complex data manipulation.

• Proven ability to work independently with high-frequency/high-volume data and manage end-to-end data analysis projects including database architecture, leveraging tools like BigQuer/Snowflake/dbt.
