• Participate in data modelling reviews and discussions to validate the model's accuracy, completeness, and alignment with business objectives.
• Work on reducing technical debt by addressing code that is outdated, inefficient, or no longer aligned with best practices or business needs.
• Help to implement data governance policies, including data quality standards, data access control, and data classification.
• Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and stakeholders to understand data requirements and translate them into platform capabilities.
• Automate data ingestion, transformation, testing and integration processes to enhance data accessibility and data quality.
