Data Quality & Trust

Partner closely with Data Quality Engineers and peer technical leaders to ensure quality validations are embedded throughout pipelines.
Ensure pipelines support reconciliation, auditability, and observability.

Mentor data engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and technical coaching.
Collaborate with other technical leaders to raise the overall engineering maturity of the team.
Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and skills development efforts.
Promote knowledge sharing through documentation, demos, and internal forums.

Stakeholder & Cross-Team Engagement

Work closely with analytics, BI, & business partners to translate requirements into scalable data solutions.
Partner with BI teams to ensure curated datasets are analytics-ready for Qlik.
Communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs clearly and collaboratively.

Required Qualifications:
