  • Planning & Execution: Drive planning activities for the team. Create and manage development plans, adeptly handling flexible deadlines and shifting business priorities
  • Service Maintenance: Oversee service maintenance in strict alignment with SRE processes, taking responsibility for the reliability, stability, and incident control of the tools within the DWH
  • Architecture & Development: Oversee the architecture, design, and implementation of data tools (Superset, Jupyter Hub, DataHub) and lead the development of custom solutions to meet new business requirements
