• Establish access controls, governance, data quality checks, monitoring, lineage, and freshness practices.
• Review code, document data contracts and semantic layers, and help colleagues deliver consistent, trusted datasets.
• Partner with product and commercial teams to turn questions into data solutions, including capacity planning, cost analysis, reliability, and customer reporting.

• Deep practical experience with Palantir Foundry, including ontology modelling, pipelines, data architecture, and large-scale platform design.
• A track record of technical leadership in data engineering, including architecture decisions, standards, and mentoring.
• Strong Python skills and experience with data tools such as Spark, PySpark, Dask, or pandas on complex datasets.
• Familiarity with API-based integrations, including REST, GraphQL, or Foundry Action APIs.
• Experience with Git-based development, code review, version control, and CI/CD workflows.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to take ownership in an environment where requirements can change.

• Experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, especially alongside infrastructure telemetry.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, monitoring data, usage-based billing, or customer-facing data products.
