- Make data more reliable, fresh, high-quality and observable. Investigate production and data issues and follow through on fixes.

- Help build privacy, consent and data-governance practices into how customer data is collected, stored and used.

- Contribute to technical designs, code reviews, documentation and operational practices.

- Use metrics, experiments and feedback from partner teams to find ways to improve the platform's quality and impact.
