- Collaborate with Data Engineers on table lifecycle management, storage optimisation, partitioning strategies, and schema evolution.
- Work with IT Infrastructure and IT Operations teams to improve platform observability, including logging, metrics, and alerting.
- Develop and maintain SOPs, platform standards, best practices, and troubleshooting documentation.
- Provide operational support to internal users (DE/DA/DS/Ops) for issues such as query performance, missing data, or inconsistent KPIs.
- 2+ years of experience in Data Ops, Data Engineering, BI Engineering, or a similar operational data role.
- Experience with CI/CD workflows, Docker, Kubernetes, or other DevOps-related practices.
- Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow (or equivalent).
- Familiarity with mainstream data engineering technologies such as Kafka, Spark, Flink, Delta Lake, Iceberg, Hudi, ClickHouse, or Doris.
- Good understanding of data warehousing concepts, including partitioning, schema evolution, table lifecycle management, and OLAP vs. data lake architectures.
- Strong SQL skills and familiarity with Python for scripting, automation, or validation.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, especially for data anomalies and pipeline failures.
