  • Data Quality & Governance: Establish and champion best practices for data quality, governance, observability, and security
  • Technology Evaluation: Stay ahead of data engineering trends and evaluate emerging tools to enhance the team’s capabilities
  • Budget & Resource Management: Own the data engineering budget and ensure efficient use of infrastructure and resources
