• Ensure data pipelines comply with governance, security, lineage, and access control requirements mandated by regulated environments.
• Implement data interfaces and contracts that satisfy DevOps Specification (DS) data requirements for supported deployment templates.
• Partner closely with Forward Deployed Software Engineer roles to enable AI workflows, retrieval, and analytics that are reliable in production.
• Diagnose and resolve data quality, schema drift, and integration issues encountered in real deployment scenarios.
• Contribute reusable data patterns and implementation learnings back to the AFE integration core to improve repeatability across pods.
• Support validation, testing, and deployment activities to ensure data flows behave correctly and consistently across environments (dev, test, pre-prod, prod).
