Design, build, and own data infrastructure and ETL/ELT pipelines (Airflow, S3, Lambda) into a governed Snowflake warehouse. Implement data quality, IaC (Terraform/CDK), CI/CD, and analytics solutions (SQL, Tableau). Enable ML/LLM use cases like forecasting and anomaly detection and deliver automated reporting and data-driven marketing outputs.

Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and tenant-aware APIs to ingest and transform data from varied sources. Work with event-driven and batch architectures, implement authentication and integration patterns, ensure observability/monitoring, optimize data flows for cost and performance, and collaborate with product, infrastructure, and engineering teams to onboard and maintain data sources at scale.

Build and maintain scalable ETL pipelines using Python, Spark, and Airflow; collaborate with AI/ML and Product teams to deliver AI-native data products; identify and resolve ETL bottlenecks; ensure code quality through reviews and tests; own sprint deliverables and contribute to roadmap planning and major epics.
