  • Design and architecture—Creating and proposing implementations that prioritize simplicity, reliability, and developer experience
  • Teaching and mentorship—Coaching other engineers and other specialties on how to utilize the data platform or approach complex concepts, whether through documentation, pairing, or other mediums
  • Optimization and review—Paying down technical debt, methodically improving performance and cost, providing high-quality feedback on PRs and RFCs to simplify the surface area of our platform

  • Ability to reason about and develop designs for data systems and pipelines
