  • Partner with product teams to address performance risks before production incidents
  • Define and implement reusable dbt project conventions, materialization patterns, macros, packages, and documentation
  • Standardize model testing, incremental transformations, version control, pull-request checks, and CI/CD quality gates
  • Promote maintainable transformation design, clear ownership, lineage, and appropriately scoped data contracts
  • Create reference implementations and templates for delivery teams

  • Preferred: Experience with Microsoft Azure, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake Storage, and Azure DevOps
