Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain a comprehensive suite of automated data quality checks in dbt (tests, exposures, docs) and custom Python validation layers for all gold-layer models and key business metrics

Serve as the first responder and owner for data-quality incidents; perform rapid triage, coordinate fixes with pipeline owners and ensure resolution within agreed SLAs
Collaborate with analytics engineers during model development to embed testable contracts (schema, uniqueness, freshness, referential integrity, business-rule validation) from day one
Partner with data engineers to validate end-to-end pipeline correctness, including reconciliation between source systems, staging, and gold layers
Continuously expand coverage of critical metrics and entities (user, content, engagement, subscription, revenue, etc.) so that data consumers can trust the semantic layer without manual verification
Build and maintain internal dashboards and runbooks that make data-quality health transparent to leadership and the broader analytics organization
