• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL with the ability to develop, customize, and present live demonstrations in customer environments.

• Knowledge of competitive AI and data platform offerings including Snowflake Cortex, Databricks Mosaic AI, Google Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI Service, Cloudera, IBM, and open-source AI ecosystems.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex technical concepts to both executive and technical audiences.
• Experience creating reusable demonstrations, technical assets, enablement programs, and best-practice documentation.
• Ability to influence without authority and support multiple stakeholders across diverse geographies and cultures.
