• Define and build a pivot-table-style UI for users to interactively analyze, slice, and visualize log data.
• Research and define log-based AI/ML use cases, exploring how logs fuel LLM training, model monitoring, and fine-tuning.
• Drive customer adoption and engagement, working cross-functionally with GTM teams to bring these capabilities to market.
