• Ensure data quality: Implement processes and tools to monitor and improve data quality, accuracy, and consistency. This may involve data profiling, cleansing, and validation.
• Deploy and maintain data infrastructure: Work with DevOps teams to deploy and maintain data infrastructure in on-premises or cloud environments. This includes ensuring scalability, reliability, and security of the data platform.

• Performance optimization: Continuously optimize the performance of data pipelines and queries to ensure efficient data processing and analysis.
