Strengthen reliability by improving SQL Server log-ship replication and Fivetran ingestion, and by building automation like auto-recovery, full-refresh jobs and watchdog orchestration that cuts down on manual fixes and outages.
Build data quality checks, freshness monitoring and quality metrics using dbt tests, Unity Catalog and Fivetran metadata, so stakeholders can trust the numbers without double-checking them.
Design access controls for large datasets, including permission models, per-team clusters, service principals and scoped access for AI tools, and handle privacy requests through tools like DataGrail to meet CCPA requirements.
Set up data contracts with product engineering so upstream schema changes don't silently break the warehouse, and write documentation (data dictionary, ERDs, spec docs, column notes) clear enough for people and AI tools to use.
Build and improve the curated data products that let stakeholders and customers turn raw data into decisions.
Partner with data science, machine learning and AI teams to build and curate the datasets their models and experiments depend on, alongside the broader data products that help stakeholders and customers turn raw data into decisions.
Partner with engineers, analysts, business leaders and other stakeholders to prioritize work, manage dependencies and deliver meaningful platform improvements.
Mentor other engineers, contribute to architectural decisions, evaluate emerging technologies and grow toward a technical leadership role while using AI thoughtfully to improve productivity and engineering outcomes.
