- Design data models, schemas, and entity relationships that support analytics, reporting, and downstream applications.
- Build and publish curated datasets and data products with clear documentation, versioning, and service-level expectations.
- Implement data quality checks, validation, monitoring, and alerting to ensure pipeline reliability and trusted outputs.
- Establish and maintain data lineage, metadata, and cataloging in accordance with data governance policies.
- Apply data security controls, including role-based and attribute-based access, data tagging and labeling, and need-to-know enforcement.
- Automate deployment and operations using CI/CD, version control, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and optimize pipeline performance and cost.
- Support the deployment of analytics and ML/AI workflows into operational systems.
- Collaborate with mission owners, analysts, data scientists, security staff, and system administrators to translate requirements into engineered solutions.
