Data Platform Engineering

 * Build and maintain scalable ingestion, transformation, and integration pipelines.
 * Develop reusable data products and shared engineering patterns.
 * Improve platform reliability, performance, and maintainability through monitoring, alerting, and operational improvements.
 * Support production operations, release activities, and business continuity planning as part of a shared team model.

Architecture & Modernization

 * Partner with architects and engineers to implement modern data architecture and engineering standards.
 * Onboard new data sources across raw, staging, and analytics-ready layers.
 * Simplify legacy data structures, reduce duplicated logic, and align models to business concepts.

Data Quality, Trust, & Governance

 * Implement data quality checks, automated testing, and observability practices.
 * Partner with Data Governance on metadata, lineage, glossary, and stewardship standards.
 * Ensure data solutions align with security, privacy, retention, and compliance requirements.
 * Help identify and prevent recurring data defects across critical assets.

Cross-Functional Delivery & Influence

 * Translate business and analytics needs into robust technical solutions.
 * Recommend improvements that reduce manual effort and improve data accessibility.
 * Contribute to technical standards, documentation, and engineering best practices.
 * Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical partners and influence direction through strong collaboration.

AI & Future-State Enablement

 * Build foundational data assets that support advanced analytics, automation, machine learning, and future AI use cases.
 * Improve consistency, usability, trust, and performance of data products that enable faster and more reliable decision-making.
