- Mentor and transition architectural knowledge to team members and provide leadership and work guidance to less experienced personnel, including conducting quality assurance activities such as peer reviews. Provide adequate and timely acceptance criteria for new or enhanced data ingestion solutions and explain costs and efficiencies of backlog items to management and other stakeholders.

- Develop architectures that support the business requirements and provide assistance to the team in troubleshooting performance and system errors, including providing data analysis support, discovering and fixing data issues, and communicating with various stakeholders.
