* Stakeholder Collaboration: Ability to translate complex legal or compliance requirements (from Legal/Risk teams) into technical specifications and scalable software solutions.
* System Design: Experience designing distributed systems that are observable, reliable, and capable of scanning/processing large volumes of metadata across diverse assets (Services, ML models, AI).
