Nice to have:
Federal Contracting: Experience navigating government procurement, defense/civilian agency contracts, or FAR/DFARS compliance.
US Privacy Law: Strong working knowledge of US privacy regulations (CCPA/CPRA, etc.) and data security frameworks as they relate to AI and cloud infrastructure.
