\textbf{Application for Software Engineer III, Business Home}

\vspace{0.8em}
Dear Google Hiring Team,

I am applying for the Software Engineer III role because it combines hands-on software engineering with the data-intensive product work I have built my career around. Business Home's goal of aggregating performance data and turning it into useful recommendations for merchants connects directly with the problems I enjoy: building reliable systems that make complex operational data usable.

At Swisscom, I migrated the Fulfillment and Product Analysis domains' pipelines onto the company's AWS platform and build governed data products within its shared Data Mesh. As Component Owner for business-critical Fulfillment ETL pipelines, I also remain accountable for production operation, data quality, incident resolution and on-call support. This combination of building systems and operating them keeps me focused on the reliability and usability of the resulting data products.

My current title is Staff Data, Analytics \& AI Engineer, and I remain a hands-on individual contributor focused on writing and operating software. I am applying deliberately because the role's product-development and data-pipeline scope matters more to me than matching titles across organizations.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how this experience could support the Business Home team.

Kind regards,
