• Experience implementing or supporting automated testing, linting, validation, deployment checks, or code quality standards.
• Experience with release management, change management, deployment coordination, or production readiness practices.
• Familiarity with observability, alerting, monitoring, runbooks, and incident response for production systems or data pipelines.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex pipeline, environment, dependency, and data quality issues with minimal guidance.
• Strong communication, documentation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• BA/BS degree in Information Science, Data Analytics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Valued Skills

• Experience supporting federated data teams, data mesh operating models, or business-owned data product delivery.
• Python development or scripting experience for automation, operational tooling, or production support.
• Experience supporting productionized Data Science, machine learning, or code-based data products.
