- Integrate and support big data platforms such as Databricks, Apache Spark, Azure Synapse, and AWS Redshift (as applicable).
- Support cross-cloud operations involving Azure and AWS services — including data migration, replication, and integration.
- Maintain up-to-date documentation, operational runbooks, and data governance policies.
