• End-to-End Pipeline Engineering: Design, build, and deploy scalable ETL/ELT pipelines from diverse source systems into our Snowflake Data Cloud. • Cloud Infrastructure: Manage and optimize data flows within an AWS environment (S3, Lambda, IAM), ensuring high availability, security, and cost-efficiency. • High-Scale Processing: Leverage Databricks and Python (PySpark) to handle complex data transformations and high-volume workloads. • Implement the Semantic Layer: Collaborate with the team to define, implement, and scale our Semantic Layer (via dbt Semantic Layer, MetricFlow, or similar) to standardize business logic, metrics, and dimensions for all downstream consumers. • Model for Truth: Use dbt to build modular, version-controlled, and tested data models that serve as the definitive foundation for business intelligence. • Data Governance & Quality: Implement automated testing and monitoring to ensure the integrity and reliability of finished data marts.

By focusing on modular design and automation, you ensure our infrastructure is stable and easy to navigate as data complexity and volume grow. • A Problem Solver: You find the root cause of data discrepancies and build automated solutions to prevent them from recurring.
