Support data products and applications such as news intelligence, asset intelligence, analytics, and AI-enabled use cases.

Ensure data solutions meet enterprise requirements for security, privacy, access control, performance, and reliability.

Required Skills

Strong experience in data engineering, data modeling, ETL/ELT, and cloud data platform development.

Hands-on experience with Snowflake , including data modeling, performance optimization, access controls, and scalable warehouse/lakehouse patterns.

Experience working in AWS cloud environments.

Experience with Informatica or similar enterprise data integration platforms for extract-load and ingestion patterns.

Experience with dbt for data transformations, testing, documentation, and analytics engineering workflows.

Understanding of Apache Iceberg or open table formats, including managed tables, schema evolution, interoperability, and catalog-based access.

Familiarity with data cataloging, governance, lineage, metadata management, and policy-driven data access.

Understanding of ontology, semantic modeling, taxonomies, business glossaries, or knowledge graph concepts .

Strong SQL skills and experience with Python or another data engineering language.

Ability to work with business stakeholders to define data entities, relationships, metrics, and data product requirements.

Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
