In this role, you will design and build data governance tooling, metadata workflows, and automation that ensure data quality, lineage, compliance, and consistency across complex data environments.

Responsibilities
· Architect, build, and maintain data governance services and workflow automation (APIs, metadata ingestion pipelines, lineage services, classification/tagging systems).

· Develop and optimize ETL/ELT data pipelines with embedded data quality and governance controls.

· Integrate and enhance data catalog/metadata tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation, DataHub, or internal equivalents).

· Support development of data dictionaries, data definitions, lineage documentation, and business-to-technical mapping.

· Implement monitoring, alerting, and governance dashboards to track data quality KPIs and metadata coverage.

· Ensure compliance with data governance policies, privacy standards, and data access controls (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

· Partner with data engineering, analytics, product, and privacy teams to translate governance requirements into scalable technical solutions.

· Create and maintain documentation, system designs, and operational processes.

Required Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent work experience.

· 3+ years of experience in software development (Java, Python, Scala, or similar languages).

· Experience working with distributed data platforms (e.g., Spark, Hive, Snowflake, BigQuery, Presto, Redshift).

· Hands-on experience with data governance, metadata management, or data lineage systems.

· Strong SQL proficiency and familiarity with data pipeline/orchestration tools.

· Experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

· Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.

· Self-driven, organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications
· Experience working in streaming media, consumer data, or other large-scale data environments.

· Familiarity with data catalog platforms (Collibra, Alation, DataHub).

· Experience with Airflow or other orchestration tools.
