- Monitor new and existing pipelines to ensure that they are meeting requirements and expectations.
- Troubleshoot and remediate new and existing pipelines to ensure continued stability and effectiveness.
- Document and transfer knowledge as required and appropriate within the project team.
- Maintain awareness and understanding of the business and technical requirements and the larger project in order to provide value beyond your specific responsibilities.
- Actively engage in project meetings and discussions to build context beyond your immediate tasks.
- Provide input and feedback to the architecture teams on the designs with an eye towards improvement.
- Ensure data quality, integrity, and availability with upstream and downstream systems.
- Contribute to data governance and best practices for data management.
