You'll work hands-on with BigQuery, dbt, and AI agents to ensure a single source of truth for providers, children, and families, while establishing governance and data quality at scale.

• Own data delivery for the state government platform: bi-directional Data Hub sync, historical licensing data migration, staging-to-prod loads, validation, and governance sign-off
• Lead identity resolution and deduplication across legacy state systems so every provider and child has one accurate record
• Define and document the metrics the business runs on, from “active provider” to churn risk, and make them self-serve for operations and provider success teams
• Set the data quality bar: monitoring, alerting, lineage, and handling of sensitive data in line with government agreements
• Use agents to automate your own workflows first, then help other teams do the same with their data questions
