- Architect data pipelines end-to-end (ingestion, transformation, storage, cataloging) with best practices for reliability, observability, and cost optimization.
- Enable data science and ML workflows on Databricks (MLflow, feature store, notebooks, Automated ML) and design end-to-end MLOps strategies.
- Ensure data governance, security, and compliance (IAM, encryption, Unity Catalog, data masking, lineage, access controls).
