• Design and maintain fact and dimension tables, ensuring correct grain, performance, and consistency.
• Contribute to and help enforce data architecture, modeling standards, naming conventions, and ETL/ELT best practices within product teams.
• Provide architectural guidance to ensure data solutions align with product requirements, platform constraints, and AI/ML needs.

Product & AI Data Enablement

• Partner with Product Managers, Data Scientists, Analysts, and Engineers to translate requirements into well-architected data models and pipelines.
• Prepare, validate, and document datasets used for analytics, experimentation, and machine learning.
• Support and evolve product event tracking architectures, ensuring alignment with dimensional models and downstream analytics.

Data Quality, Reliability & Operations

• Implement monitoring, testing, and alerting for data quality, pipeline health, and freshness.
• Ensure integrity of fact and dimension data through validation, reconciliation, and automated checks.
• Diagnose and resolve complex data issues affecting analytics, AI workflows, or product features.

Mentorship & Collaboration

• Mentor and support data engineers through architecture reviews, code reviews, and design discussions.
• Participate in cross-team data architecture, modeling, and pipeline design reviews.
• Collaborate with platform, cloud, and security teams to ensure scalable, secure, and production-ready data architectures
• Well-architected, enterprise-grade product and AI data platforms.
• Analytics- and AI-ready datasets built on strong dimensional and architectural foundations.
• Consistent application of data architecture, modeling, and data quality standards within product teams.
• Technical mentorship that raises the bar for data architecture and engineering excellence.
