• Turn customer and business needs into a multi-quarter roadmap with incremental milestones.

• Guide architecture and help senior engineers make explicit, sound tradeoffs.

• Raise operational quality across SLOs, on-call, incidents, maintenance, and automation.

• Work directly with customers and turn recurring pain into product improvements.

• Align dependencies, surface risks early, and keep execution predictable across a distributed organization.

• Hire the right mix of PostgreSQL, systems, infrastructure, reliability, and product engineering talent while fostering ownership and clear technical debate.
