About The Role

You will automate testing and deployments through CI/CD pipelines, helping maintain consistent and dependable releases. In partnership with stakeholders and technical teams, you will clarify requirements, address data challenges and deliver high-quality data products. You will also contribute to good data quality and governance practices appropriate to the project.
