The role will analyse individual use cases, understand the underlying business, Risk and data requirements , assess the existing GCP data landscape, and translate these requirements into engineering-ready specifications . The role will also identify opportunities to reuse and enhance existing Consumer Data Products (CDPs) across multiple use cases. As part of your duties, you will be responsible for: 1. EUC & Business/Risk Analysis * Analyse SAS-based EUCs to understand their business purpose, Risk logic, calculations, outputs and data requirements . * Interpret SAS programs, ETL processes, macros, data flows and embedded business logic. * Decompose complex use cases into business rules, data elements, calculations and dependencies. * Work with Risk SMEs and stakeholders to validate requirements and resolve ambiguities. 2. GCP Data Assessment * Assess the existing GCP data landscape to identify data elements available to support each use case. * Determine which data can be used directly, derived, combined or added to existing data products . * Understand data lineage, source systems, transformations, dependencies and data availability. * Identify data gaps and articulate requirements for additional data attributes or transformations. 3. Data Requirements & Product Definition * Translate use-case requirements into clear data requirements and specifications . * Define required attributes, business definitions, derivations, transformations and dependencies. * Develop source-to-target mappings and document relevant data lineage. * Identify common data requirements across EUCs and recommend opportunities to reuse or enhance existing CDPs rather than creating duplicate data. 4. Engineering Enablement * Produce engineering-ready specifications covering data requirements, business rules, mappings, dependencies and acceptance criteria. * Conduct walkthroughs with Data Engineering, Architecture and Feature Pods. * Support Engineering teams during implementation and resolve functional/data-related queries. * Define validation and reconciliation requirements to support SAS-to-GCP migration. 5. Agile Delivery & Collaboration * Work closely with Risk SMEs, Business Analysts, SAS/GCP Architects and Engineering teams . * Participate in backlog refinement, sprint planning and solution walkthroughs. * Identify dependencies, assumptions, risks and data gaps proactively. Contribute to reusable migration patterns, standards and knowledge assets across the migration factory. ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [Data Governance in the Era of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1622-data-governance-in-the-era-of-ai) - [Making Data Warehouses fast.
