- Partner with backend and quantitative research leads to build tools for additional business functions.

- Experience creating data-intensive products featuring visualizations, charts and maps.
- Skill in designing and prototyping user interfaces in Figma or similar tools.
- Comfort using AI-assisted tools to speed up prototyping, coding and delivery.
