• Continuously monitor and optimize platform performance and cost.

Framework, Tooling and Enablement

• Build and maintain reusable frameworks and patterns for dbt, Airflow, Cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, etc.), Internal data and AI APIs.
• Build and support infrastructure and pipelines for AI/LLM-based use cases, including orchestration, integration, and serving.
• Improve developer experience for Analytics Engineering and Insights teams by reducing friction in local development, deployments, and production workflows.
• Create and maintain technical documentation and examples to support self‑service analytics and data development.
