• Define and implement key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the efficiency, quality, and reliability of data engineering processes.
• Participate in code reviews, promoting clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code aligned with engineering best practices.
• Create and maintain data definitions and metadata consistent with data management standards.
• Provide operational support for data integration and transformation workflows in production environments.
