• Academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or demonstrable foundational knowledge through personal projects or coursework.
• Basic programming skills, ideally in Scala or Python, and a strong willingness to learn.
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases is a plus.
