Profile and Skills to Success
- Master’s degree in Engineering or Computer Science
- Data Platform Operations: 3+ years operating large‑scale data databases/lakes/warehouses
- Metadata Management: Proven experience building and maintaining a data catalog/lineage system (DataHub, Amundsen, Collibra, Alation, etc.)
- Semantic Modeling: Ability to design business‑level vocabularies, canonical data models, and data contracts; experience with Data Mesh or domain‑oriented data products.Experience with formal verification
- AI‑Assisted Data Quality: Ideally hands‑on experience with ML‑based profiling tools (Great Expectations + ML, Monte Carlo, Datafold, Bigeye) or the ability to develop custom models (Python?) for anomaly detection
- Governance & Compliance: Knowledge of data‑privacy frameworks; experience creating transparent audit trails
- Tooling & Automation: CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), dbt (v0.21+), Airflow / Dagster / Prefect
