- Create, maintain, and disseminate project information to stakeholders; drive alignment across engineering, science, and product teams.

- Manage and grow a team of talented engineers - making great hiring decisions, setting goals, providing feedback, and managing performance.

- Develop best practices to build and operate critical catalog platform services that handle both traditional low-latency workloads and ML-powered processing at scale.
