• 02Contribute to technical strategy for data platform initiatives alongside other senior engineers and technical leads, translating complex problems into clear direction and executable plans

• 04Experience designing internal platforms and developer-facing abstractions - you think about your platform's users as carefully as product engineers think about end users
