Accountabilities:

• Shape the long-term architecture, technical strategy, and engineering direction for Data Delivery and related data and analytics systems.

• Lead high-impact initiatives spanning multiple teams, systems, and product areas, helping engineering groups align around scalable and sustainable technical solutions.

• Build and guide platform capabilities that enable teams to deliver new reporting, measurement, forecasting, billing, export, and analytics functionality more efficiently.

• Make critical system-design decisions across APIs, data pipelines, data models, distributed systems, storage technologies, serving layers, and operational patterns.

• Partner with product, engineering, data science, analytics, and business leaders to translate organizational priorities into actionable technical roadmaps.

• Identify systemic opportunities across reliability, scalability, data quality, observability, developer experience, and operational ownership, then drive improvements across the relevant technical areas.

• Evaluate and clearly communicate trade-offs involving correctness, latency, freshness, cost, migration complexity, maintainability, and long-term platform leverage.

• Help establish trusted, scalable, and efficient data systems that support customer-facing experiences and internal business functions.

• Mentor and coach engineers, including senior-level contributors, through architecture reviews, design discussions, technical guidance, and hands-on leadership.

• Improve alignment across the broader Stats & Analytics domain by clarifying how systems interact, documenting technical decisions, and establishing durable architectural patterns.
