- + Work with ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for search, logging, and real-time analytics.
- + Support Lakehouse architectures and hybrid data storage models for unified access and processing.
• Data Governance & Stewardship
+ Implement robust data governance, access control, and stewardship policies aligned with compliance and security best practices.
+ Establish metadata management, data lineage, and auditability across pipelines and environments.
• Machine Learning & Advanced Analytics Enablement
+ Collaborate with data scientists to prepare and serve features for ML models.
+ Maintain awareness of ML pipeline integration and ensure data readiness for experimentation and deployment.
• Documentation & Continuous Improvement
+ Maintain thorough documentation including technical specifications, data flow diagrams, and operational procedures.
