- DevOps/MLOps fundamentals: version control, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containers and monitoring
- Excellent written and spoken English for executive proposals, decision records and presentations
- Databricks Professional or Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification (desirable)
- Big Four, global systems integrator or specialist consultancy experience, including bids, statements of work and estimation (desirable)
