• Test, debug and optimize Databricks pipelines and notebooks

• Investigate and resolve data-quality, performance and integration issues

• Improve the reliability and efficiency of existing workflows

• Monitor data pipelines and troubleshoot failures or inconsistencies

• Deliver a high-quality experience for analysts and other data consumers

Stakeholder and Technical Collaboration

• Work with business stakeholders to understand complex data requirements

• Translate functional requirements into scalable technical architectures

• Challenge requirements constructively when a more effective solution is available

• Partner with Finance, Sales Operations, IT and Business Intelligence teams

• Provide technical support to analysts and end users

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced enterprise environment
