Write performant SQL using AWS Athena (Presto) with CTEs, window functions, and aggregations.
Take full ownership from ingestion → transformation → validation → metadata → documentation → dashboard-ready output.
Build pipelines that are not just performant, but audit-ready and metadata-rich from the first version.
Integrate classification tags and ownership metadata into all columns using AWS Glue Catalog tagging conventions.
Ensure no pipeline moves to QA or BI team without validation logs and field-level metadata completed.
Develop job orchestration workflows using AWS Step Functions integrated with EventBridge or CloudWatch.
Manage schemas and metadata using AWS Glue Data Catalog.
Take full ownership from ingestion → transformation → validation → metadata → documentation → dashboard-ready output.
Ensure no pipeline moves to QA or BI team without validation logs and field-level metadata completed.
Enforce data quality using Great Expectations, with checks for null %, ranges, and referential rules.
Ensure data lineage with OpenMetadata or Amundsen and add metadata classifications (e.g., PII, KPIs).
Collaborate with data scientists on ML pipelines, handling JSON/Parquet I/O and feature engineering.
Must understand how to prepare flattened, filterable datasets for BI tools like Sigma, Power BI, or Tableau.
