• Delivery Speed Enablement: Build reusable data-related tools, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.  Enable DevOps model usage focused on continuous improvement, and ultimately reduce unnecessary dependencies.
• Shift Security Left: Ensure security components and requirements are implemented via automation up-front as part of all solutions being developed.
• Focus on the Future: Stay current on industry best practices and emerging technologies and proactively translate those into data platform improvements.
• Be a Great Team Player: Train team members in proper coding techniques, create proper documentation as needed, and be a solid leader on the team as a senior-level engineer. 
• Support US Operations: Operate partially within US Eastern time zone to ensure appropriate alignment and coordination with the US-based teams.
