• Drive a roadmap balancing foundational platform investments with product delivery needs.
• Champion best practices, including dbt patterns, data contracts, testing, and documentation.
• Deliver high-quality systems: accurate, observable, secure, and scalable pipelines and models.
• Improve reliability through alerting, SLAs and SLOs, runbooks, and root-cause analysis.
• Partner with platform engineering on deployment patterns, cost optimization, and environment strategy.
• Collaborate with Product, Analytics, Security, and Engineering leaders to ensure data enables outcomes.
• Communicate tradeoffs, risks, and timelines clearly to stakeholders.
