Tasks

-Conveys the value proposition for the company by assessing financial risks and gains of decisions and return on investment (ROI). -Evaluates technology to drive features and roadmaps. Maps technology trends to internal vision. -Provide guidance to developers with either planning and execution and/or design architecture using agile methodologies such as SCRUM. -Drive innovation in our database systems and drive next level of performance, correctness, durability, and scalability of our data systems by bringing in AI and next generation modeling technologies. -Finds important patterns in seemingly unrelated information. -Leads impact assessment and decision related to technology choices, design /architectural considerations, and implementation strategy. -Work with Product Line Leaders (PLLs) to understand product requirements & develop a strategy and vision. -Capture system level requirements by brainstorming with CTO, Sr. Architects, Data Scientists, Businesses & Product Managers -Balances value propositions for competing stakeholders. Recommends a well-researched recommendation of buy vs. build solution. -Proactively identifies and removes project obstacles or barriers on behalf of the team. -Be responsible for providing technical leadership and defining, developing, and building our next generation data fabric system with focus on semantic modeling, data catalog development, data access and integration layers software in a fast paced and agile development environment. -Influences through others; builds direct and "behind the scenes" support for ideas. -Facilitates and coaches software engineering team sessions on requirements estimation and alternative approaches to team sizing and estimation. Leads a community of practice around estimation to share best practices among teams. -Maintains excitement for a process and drives to new directions of meeting the goal even when odds and setbacks render one path impassable. -Work on developing next generation AI technologies such as Text Mining, Machine Learning, Deep Learning to improve product capabilities and development processes. -Pre-emptively sees downstream consequences and effectively tailors influencing strategy to support a positive outcome. Uses experts or other third parties to influence. -Identifies how the cost of change weighs against the benefits and advises accordingly.
