- Integrate serverless computing frameworks or modern API frameworks to support data-driven applications (FastAPI, Flask).
- Develop and maintain data-intensive UIs and dashboards using tools like Streamlit, Dash, Plotly, or React.
- Data Quality Control:
- Establish data governance and data quality frameworks, using either custom solutions or popular open-source/commercial tools (e.g., DBT tests, Great Expectations, Soda).
- Implement data observability solutions to monitor and alert on data integrity and reliability (e.g., Monte Carlo, Alation, or Elementary).
- Define SLAs, SLOs, and processes to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data issues.
- Teamwork:
- Work cross-functionally with data scientists, analysts, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into robust data solutions.
- Follow and advocate for best practices in version control, CI/CD.
