• Proven success collaborating with engineering on rapid release cadences (CI/CD, nightly builds, agile delivery).
• Comfortable reading and contributing to code (Python, C++, etc.) and using GitHub, JupyterLab, or AI coding tools like Copilot.
• Excellent stakeholder and partner management skills across internal teams and external organizations.
• Strong written communication, including technical documentation, product messaging, and community engagement.
