The role

- Make product tradeoffs and manage stakeholder expectations across teams with competing priorities.
- Reduce time-to-debug, deploy experiments, and access data by improving tooling and processes.
- Drive reuse and scalability of capabilities across reference vehicles and customer programs; minimize one-off configurations.
- Improve consistency between internal development environments and customer-operated workflows.
