• Lead cross-functional collaboration with Analytics, Product, and Engineering to deliver reliable, timely data
• Own observability, performance, and reliability of data workflows across environments
• Guide infrastructure decisions in AWS (S3, Kafka, EC2, Lambda, IAM), balancing scalability and cost
• Drive cost optimization and platform hygiene across data storage, compute, and tooling
• Champion CI / CD practices and automated testing for data pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
• Uphold engineering rigor through SDLC best practices, including version control, peer reviews, and reproducible builds
• Lead documentation efforts, promote reproducibility, and support onboarding for long-term team health
