• Establish infrastructure and processes that ensure external data transfers are scalable, secure, traceable, and efficient.

• Monitor cloud infrastructure and data warehouse spending, implementing cost controls and optimization strategies to maintain predictable operating expenses.

• Collaborate with application database teams to improve cloud architecture, leverage infrastructure synergies, accelerate access to insights, and reduce overall cloud costs.

• Establish comprehensive data quality frameworks using dbt testing capabilities, ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of analytical datasets.

• Develop and maintain standardized metric definitions, data documentation, and governance practices that make trusted data accessible across the organization.

• Champion DataOps principles and empower analytics engineers and data scientists to independently develop and manage reliable metrics and analytical workflows.

• Implement and maintain appropriate access controls and permissions across data consumption environments.

• Ensure data infrastructure complies with GDPR, personally identifiable information (PII) requirements, SOC 2, and other relevant security and regulatory standards.

• At least 5 years of hands-on experience working with SQL, BigQuery, Terraform, Apache Beam, Airflow, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
