  • Contribute to data governance practices: access controls, Unity Catalog permissions, lineage documentation, and change management.
  • Engage with internal stakeholders (clinical, billing, operations) to translate business requirements into data engineering solutions.
  • Identify and resolve data quality, latency, and pipeline reliability issues proactively.
