Key Responsibilities
- Help evaluate and choose the tools for our data stack: data warehouse, ELT, and orchestration.
- Build and maintain data pipelines of low to medium complexity once the foundation is in place.
- Add data quality checks to every pipeline change: null checks, row counts, schema validation, and dbt tests (or equivalent) as standard practice, not an extra step.
- Break your work into small, deployable increments and keep pull requests focused.
- Monitor pipeline outputs after every deployment and keep the codebase easy to work with.
- Respond quickly to pipeline failures, investigate the root cause, and escalate when an issue is bigger than you.
- Review pull requests with constructive feedback, pair with teammates on complex work, and support colleagues where needed.
- Communicate early when changes affect downstream consumers such as BI, ML, or customers, and prioritize based on customer impact.
- Build a concrete growth plan with your manager and share what you learn from mistakes.
