• Apply strong engineering practices across multiple repos using GitOps/DataOps patterns, CI/CD, testing, and automation. 

• Write high-quality Python and SQL following platform standards, with linting, type checking, and test coverage. 

5. Data Governance, Quality & Security 

• Apply platform governance standards including masking policies, tags, RBAC, and FUTURE GRANTS. 

• Implement and maintain data quality checks, lineage tagging, and compliance-aligned security patterns. 

6. Cross-Team Collaboration 

• Work closely with data analysts, AI analysts, and data scientists to support their workflows, improve data accessibility and quality, and enhance their ability to deliver analytics, AI models, and insights on top of the platform.
