• Make it easy for framework teams across Databricks to publish their data to customers
• Lead large milestones on the observability roadmap and contribute to long-term product vision
• Mentor other engineers
• Improve the scalability and cost of large data pipelines that process billions of entries a day
• Integrate with popular tools in the wider data-warehousing ecosystem
