• Lead or significantly contribute to the migration and rehydration of approximately 500 PowerBI reports in 2026, including re-pointing and optimizing data sources.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data assets using Databricks Asset Bundles (DAB), GitHub Actions, and other modern DevOps practices.
• Collaborate with data analysts, BI developers, and business stakeholders to ensure data availability, performance, and reliability.
• Optimize ETL/ELT processes for performance, cost, and maintainability.
• Establish best practices for version control, testing, and deployment of notebooks, workflows, and Delta Live Tables.
