• Technical Experience: Minimum 2 years of hands‑on experience with data‑pipeline technologies such as Apache Cassandra, Kafka, or similar distributed systems.
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python or Scala, with solid experience in data‑manipulation libraries (pandas, NumPy) and machine‑learning frameworks (scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Statistical Acumen: Demonstrated ability to perform data cleaning, feature engineering, model selection, and validation on large, noisy datasets.
• Testing Expertise: Experience designing, executing, and interpreting automated tests, including A/B testing, regression analysis, and performance benchmarking.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Collaboration: Proven track record of working effectively in cross‑functional, remote teams, balancing autonomy with shared accountability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in a quantitative discipline.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for data‑centric applications.
• Knowledge of iOS/macOS development cycles, telemetry collection, and Apple‑specific data formats.
• Prior involvement in large‑scale, consumer‑facing product quality initiatives.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Analytical Mindset: Ability to dissect complex problems, identify root causes, and propose data‑driven solutions.
• Innovation: Creative thinking to develop novel approaches for quality assurance and predictive maintenance.
• Detail Orientation: Meticulous attention to data integrity, documentation, and reproducibility.
