•Act as the primary data partner for specific business areas, understanding their processes, goals, and pain points.
•Deliver end-to-end solutions, managing scoping, discovery, design, delivery, user adoption, and iteration.
•Gather and translate business requirements into technical solutions.
What you'll need to be successful:
•5+ years of experience as a Data/ML Engineer, with a track record of independently owning data/ML solutions from scoping to adoption.
•Proficiency in Python, SQL, and PySpark/Spark.
•Experience with modern data platforms, such as Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow, workflows).
