Develop, maintain, and govern scalable and secure data models, schemas, and ontologies specifically for people analytics, ensuring data quality, consistency, and accessibility for downstream consumption.
Contribute to the strategic design, development, and evolution of our people data platform and tooling, advocating for engineering best practices, automation, and a scalable analytics ecosystem (e.g., leveraging SQLMesh, Iceberg, Flyte).
Partner closely with People Analysts, HR Business Partners, and other stakeholders to understand their analytical needs and translate them into robust data solutions, providing well-structured, documented, and reliable datasets.
Implement and monitor data quality checks, identify discrepancies, troubleshoot data issues, and ensure the reliability and integrity of people data across all systems.
Continuously monitor the performance of data pipelines and models, identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions to ensure the efficiency and scalability of our people data infrastructure.
