- Apply and support RBAC, dynamic masking, and tag-based access controls.
- Develop stored procedures and support governed data access patterns.
- Develop and operate data workloads using AWS services such as S3, Lambda, ECS Fargate, Glue, DynamoDB, and IAM, or equivalent Azure services.
- Collaborate with senior engineers on deployment pipelines, automation, and environment promotion.
- Troubleshoot data pipeline issues and participate in production support.
- Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting for pipelines and data processes.
- Contribute to performance tuning and cost optimization efforts.
- Mentor junior data engineers through code reviews and technical guidance.
