• Strong programming capability, e.g. Python, C++, VBA or similar technologies 
• Solid mathematical or analytical background, with the ability to work with complex data and scenarios 
• Experience working with modern development tools (e.g. Git, JIRA, Confluence or similar) 
• Ability to lead, coach and develop teams, creating an inclusive and collaborative culture 
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical audiences
