  • Define and document data architecture standards, best practices, and design patterns for engineering teams to follow.
  • Partner with data engineers to guide the implementation of data pipelines, ensuring designs support accuracy, validity, and reliability of data at scale.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize data tools and architecture used to transform, manage, and access data sources across the organization.
  • Establish frameworks for performance monitoring and data quality across multiple systems and pipelines.
  • Perform root cause analysis on systemic or recurring architectural issues and design advanced, scalable solutions to prevent future points of failure.
  • Own the data governance strategy and work with designated privacy teams to ensure that data modeling and handling procedures are compliant with laws and policies.
