You will work closely with data architects and client stakeholders to build ingestion, transformation, data quality, and semantic modeling layers, and take the lead on performance optimization and engineering best practices across the medallion tiers. You'll play a key role in proof-of-concepts, accelerators, and enterprise-scale implementations, often serving as the senior technical presence on client engagements.
