APIs and data contracts, and drive consensus across teams.\n- Track record of mentoring engineers - code reviews, design coaching, career growth conversations.\n- Experience with observability and SRE practices: metrics, tracing, alerting, error budgets, on-call leadership.\n- Comfortable with TDD, modern CI/CD, and the productive use of AI engineering tools (GitHub Copilot, etc.).\n- Strong written and verbal communication - able to influence both engineers and senior business stakeholders.\n- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field - or equivalent experience.\n- Preferred: experience with data governance, RLS/ABAC, ontology/semantic layers, dbt, agentic/LLM-powered analytics layers, or large-scale BI platforms.\n\n**WHAT YOU'LL WORK

and quality bars.\n- You will drive aggressive simplification and unification of our data products landscape, reducing KLO/TCO while improving consistency.\n- You will co-create agentic and ontology-driven consumption experiences with BI Experience teams, embedding business context and metric consistency directly into our code and systems.\n- You will own production reliability, scalability, and security for your squad's services - leading incident response, capacity planning, and the operational quality of what you ship.\n- You will mentor and grow the SWE I and SWE II engineers on the squad, raising the technical bar through reviews, pairing, and design coaching.\n- You will partner with the Platform team to adopt and contribute back recommended toolkits,
