Define standards for indexing, query optimization, partitioning, and sharding strategies to support high-throughput and low-latency workloads. 
Champion observability by implementing and scaling monitoring, alerting, and dashboards via CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Datadog, or similar tools. 
Orchestrate transformations using DBT or Coalesce, maintaining strong data lineage, validation, and governance across workflows. 
Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, DevOps, and Analytics teams to deliver data solutions that are secure, reliable, and cost-efficient. 
Mentor engineers in best practices for database performance, automation, and data reliability. 
Drive automation and operational excellence through CLI tools, APIs, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep), and CI/CD pipelines. 
Ensure data quality and compliance by implementing validation frameworks, automated testing, and consistent documentation across systems.
