Collaborate with data engineers, modelers, and AI engineers to establish and enforce data quality standards and best practices.
Conduct functional, regression, and integration testing of ETL jobs, data ingestion pipelines, and model outputs.
Develop test strategies to validate structured (OLTP/OLAP) and unstructured data (logs, PDFs, etc.).
Build automated tools and dashboards for data profiling, data drift detection, and quality scorecards.
Identify root causes of data quality issues and coordinate remediation efforts with engineering teams.
Validate data accuracy across Redshift, Postgres, and data marts using SQL and scripting tools.
