• Manage and optimize production data pipelines to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality data to our data warehouse.
• Maintain and evolve our transformation models using DBT, ensuring that data is structured for both performance and ease of use by analysts.
• Implement and monitor Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and observability alerts in Datadog to proactively detect and resolve pipeline failures.
• Develop and refine workflow orchestration in Airflow, focusing on reducing technical debt and improving the speed of data processing.
• Collaborate across time zones with the Melbourne and New York teams to provide "follow-the-sun" support, ensuring global system stability.
• Lead data modeling efforts, transforming raw application and third-party data into well-structured, warehouse-ready assets (using Kimball or "one-big-table" paradigms) to solve specific business challenges.

• Mentor and elevate the engineering team through rigorous code reviews, documentation standards, and the adoption of modern transformation tools like dbt and SQLMesh
• Execute migration projects that move legacy data structures into our modern cloud architecture, improving long-term system maintainability.
• Implement and maintain systems for data governance, focusing on automated testing, data quality, consistency, and privacy compliance across all global pipelines

• Modern Data Stack Expertise: Hands-on experience with ₹Query/Snowflake, DBT, and Airflow (or similar orchestration tools like Dagster or Prefect).
• Distributed Systems Knowledge: Understanding of how to process large-scale datasets efficiently using tools like Spark or BigQuery.
• Collaborative Communication: Ability to work effectively in a distributed team, clearly documenting technical changes and participating in global handover processes.
• Operational Excellence: You have a reliability-first mindset, taking pride in high uptime and the accuracy of the data you deliver.
• Empathetic Engineering: You view data as a product and strive to make it accessible and understandable for your stakeholders across the business.
• Adaptable Problem-Solver: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable shifting between deep-focus development and urgent troubleshooting.
• Continuous Learner: You stay curious about emerging data technologies and are always looking for ways to automate manual processes.
• Strategic Ownership: You have the ability to work independently, lead complex projects, and work through ambiguity to build repeatable engineering patterns
