- Comfortable with probability, statistical analysis, optimization, numerical methods, and mathematical abstraction.
- Expertise working with both relational databases and NoSQL databases in conducting historical research and backtesting.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex and technical ideas clearly.
- Collaborative attitude with a competitive drive and comfort with metrics-based performance evaluation.
