From real-time anomalies to data drift to data loss, your platform empowers its customers to quickly set up critical guardrails, alerting them when their data quality is in question. With a keen customer focus, you will collaborate with external teams from across Nordstrom, understand their needs and use those needs to define key metrics which quantify their satisfaction. You will also guide and deliver technical solutions to understand where our data reside as well as their relationships, lineage and relevance. All of this will help you build a delightful solution surfacing timely, relevant and accurate data to employees all across Nordstrom.
