- Serve as a people leader through servant leadership, supporting formal performance review cycles, providing regular actionable feedback, and actively investing in each engineer's career development and long-term growth

- Own the design and delivery of data platform solutions end to end: from ingestion and transformation to outgestion, scheduling, alerting, and monitoring, ensuring the platform reliably serves business needs at scale

- Build and maintain strong relationships across business, client, and technical stakeholders, translating business strategies and requirements into a forward-looking technical roadmap, holding the team accountable to delivering against it, and serving as a credible, trusted point of contact who knows when and how to push back

- Lead and execute proof-of-concepts where appropriate to assess, validate, and improve technical processes and approaches

- Spot and champion opportunities to build AI into the data stack, push the team toward agentic tooling and AI-assisted pipeline development, and model an AI-forward approach to how the work gets done

- Engage early with business stakeholders to understand how data is used and created across the organization, surface opportunities to deliver more value upstream, and keep data engineering involved before requirements are locked
