Summary
We are looking for a Senior Data Quality Engineer with strong expertise in validating data pipelines, ETL processes, and enterprise Data Warehouse environments.
In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the integrity, reliability, and consistency of the data powering analytics and reporting platforms. The primary focus of this position is validating the quality of data as it moves across pipelines, transformations, and warehouse layers.
