• Proactively monitor job execution, system performance, and data quality metrics using Splunk, Hubble, and internal alerting systems.
• Ensure data privacy and compliance with internal security policies and practices.
• Investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks and data issues in production.
• Maintain technical documentation and contribute to architectural decisions and best practices.
