• Implement incremental processing and manage schema changes, duplicates, missing values and late-arriving data.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring, lead code and design reviews, and support consistent development, testing and CI/CD practices.
• Contribute to product and delivery discussions by explaining technical trade-offs, identifying data dependencies and helping prioritise work based on business value and technical constraints.
• Document data models, transformations, lineage, dependencies and operational procedures.
