Experience: 5+ years of experience in a highly technical, enterprise client-facing role (e.g., Solutions Architect, Forward-Deployed Engineer, Technical Account Manager, or Data Consultant).
Data Science Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience with SQL, Python/R, and latest AI tools for data analysis and machine learning.
