• Identify improvement needs, integrate them into system and product roadmaps.
• Support incident resolution by identifying root causes in data flows and preparing permanent fixes.
• Catalog data assets and products to improve documentation and usability for consumers.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• A master’s in engineering, computer science, MIS, or related field.
• 10–12+ years of experience in data architecture, engineering, analytics, or software engineering in enterprise settings.
• Expertise in CRM, ERP, product data management, and business process data. Experience with SAP ERP, Salesforce CRM, and FSM.
• Ability to document and visualize data pipelines and models (3NF, dimensional), and support engineering teams hands-on.
• Proficiency in SQL, Python, and in applying SDLC, DevSecOps, and DataOps practices across the full pipeline lifecycle.
• Technical mastery of tools such as Databricks, medallion architecture, Unity Catalog, Airflow, DBT, AWS services (Glue, EMR, Athena), Spark, Flink, Kafka, Terraform, and Git platforms. Certifications in AWS/Databricks are a plus.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity, data privacy, compliance, QA, and cloud FinOps.
• Experience mentoring, leading teams, and advancing DataOps maturity.
• Familiarity with agile methods and tools (Jira, Confluence, draw.io).
• Ability to deliver in agile sprints, collaborate globally, self-organize, seek feedback, solve problems, and communicate effectively in English.
