• Design and optimize data models and storage architecture for analytics and AI/ML workloads.
• Collaborate with globally distributed teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions.
• Troubleshoot complex issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement durable fixes.
• Ensure data quality, reliability, observability, and performance.
• Produce technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks

Additional:

• Clear ownership of at least one real, production-grade ETL pipeline
• Direct involvement in data modeling decisions
• Experience handling pipeline reliability issues or production incidents
• Strong SQL performance tuning and optimization experience
