  • Detect slow queries, track database health, and proactively escalate performance trends or issues.
  • Implement data quality checks, drift detection, environment diffs, and SLO / SLA alerting.

    • Data as Code / DevOps Approach

  • Treat data infrastructure as versioned code, including CI / CD workflows for ETL / ELT pipelines, database scripts, stored procedures, automated tests, validation, and environment promotion with rollback.

    • Must-Have Qualifications

  • 3+ years of data engineering or related experience , with deep AWS expertise supporting production-grade data platforms.
