• Lead the implementation and operationalization of GX Core (Great Expectations) as the primary data validation framework.
• Develop and maintain reusable data quality rules using a Rule-as-Code approach.
• Create automated validation checks for business-critical datasets and workflows.
• Implement data observability, monitoring, alerting, and reporting solutions.
• Define and maintain data lineage across key business domains.
• Design validation processes for data completeness, accuracy, integrity, consistency, reconciliation, freshness, and anomaly detection.
• Integrate data quality validations into CI/CD pipelines and release processes.
• Develop dashboards and reports to monitor data quality trends and operational health.
• Investigate root causes of recurring data issues and implement preventive solutions.
• Collaborate with Data Engineering, Application Engineering, QA, Product, and Support teams to establish ownership and governance for data quality.
• Define standards for governance, validation frequency, remediation workflows, and quality metrics.
