- Evaluate compute and query engines for read-heavy workloads, assessing cost, performance, reliability, and operational fit.
- Assess real-time OLAP technologies and identify appropriate production use cases.
- Improve deployment, observability, incident response, developer tooling, and platform operations.
- Partner with data scientists and data engineers to improve their experience using the platform.
- Contribute fixes and improvements to relevant open-source projects, including Spark, Iceberg, and Airflow.
- Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, design discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
