- Work with Solutions Engineering to validate integration feasibility, data freshness requirements, and schema mapping during pre-sales and onboarding.
- Identify and escalate data quality risks that could compromise dashboard accuracy during early customer deployments.
- Partner closely with engineering, design, and Solutions Engineering throughout the feature lifecycle — from discovery through general availability.
