- **Customer Partner.** You serve as a trusted advisor to senior customer stakeholders and translate rigor without losing precision.
- **Mentor.** You raise the bar on technical execution and help define the standards, tooling, and direction of the function.
- **High-Standards Builder.** You hold a high bar for clarity and reliability in domains where approximation isn't enough.

## Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, quantitative systems, applied research, or forward-deployed technical work with significant ownership
- Strong record of leading ambiguous, customer-facing technical initiatives
- Deep strength in Python, SQL, system design, and analytical application architecture
- Strong applied AI or ML experience, with clear attention to evaluation, reliability, and real-world deployment
- Deep quantitative reasoning across modeling, inference, optimization, simulation, statistics, or decision systems
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management
- Strong taste in balancing speed, rigor, and trust in high-stakes environments

## Nice-to-Haves
- Familiarity with the Snowflake AI Data Platform as a strong starting point for architecting data, analytics, and AI workflows
- Experience designing custom applications in finance, capital markets, enterprise decision systems, or similarly complex domains
- Experience with optimization, probabilistic systems, simulation engines, or mathematical modeling platforms
- Experience with formal verification, theorem proving, formal methods, or machine-checkable logic
- Experience turning bespoke customer systems into reusable product or platform primitives
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising the bar on technical execution
