  • Contribute to Agile delivery by participating in stand‑ups, user story creation, and sprint planning.
  • Document implemented solutions clearly and accurately for internal and customer use.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues across subscriptions and environments.
  • Work closely with the Project Manager (where applicable) to align on delivery timelines, report progress, and manage risks, while also acting as a key point of contact for customer SMEs.
  • Engage in continuous learning through certifications (e.g., DP‑600 and/or DP‑700, AI‑900, AI‑102, etc.) and development days.
  • Contribute to the Data Engineer Guild by sharing knowledge, participating in discussions, and helping shape engineering standards and practices.
  • Adhere to information security policies and procedures, protecting business data and infrastructure.
