Data Quality Frameworks: Own data quality infrastructure by building and maintaining frameworks for testing, monitoring, and alerting on data freshness, completeness, and correctness.

Data Catalog Management: Extend, maintain, and improve data catalog tooling (e.g., OpenMetadata) to ensure data assets are documented, discoverable, and trusted.

CI/CD & Local Workflows:



Build and maintain CI/CD workflows for dbt model deployment, schema validation, data quality checks, automated testing, and reproducible local development environments.

Security & Architecture: Collaborate with technical leadership to design scalable data platform architecture with a security-first mindset, ensuring access patterns, credentials, and audit logging are codified and version-controlled.

Engineering Standards: Perform code reviews, ensure pull requests meet acceptance criteria, and uphold high engineering standards across the platform codebase.
