- Have built something real with Claude, an LLM API, or agentic tooling.
- Approach data quality problems through engineering solutions such as derivation, source integration, and validation.
- Be comfortable investigating data meaning directly with its producers and consumers.
- Demonstrate curiosity, willingness to learn, sound judgment, and responsible use of AI.
- No computer science degree or formal engineering tenure required.
