- Collaborate with data scientists to understand data requirements and translate them into robust engineering solutions.
- Monitor pipeline health, troubleshoot failures, and implement improvements to data quality and observability.
- Document data flows, schemas, and pipeline logic to maintain institutional knowledge.
- Present project progress, architecture decisions, and results to business stakeholders in a clear, concise manner.
- Partner with platform and cloud engineering teams on Azure infrastructure and Databricks workspace management.
