• Apply schema evolution and data versioning to support agile data development. 2. Platform Integration & Data Ingestion:
• Connect and ingest data from enterprise systems such as PeopleSoft, D2L, and Salesforce using APIs, JDBC, or other integration frameworks.
• Implement connectors and ingestion frameworks that accommodate structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
• Design standardized data ingestion processes with automated error handling, retries, and alerting. 3. Data Quality, Monitoring, and Governance:
• Develop data quality checks, validation rules, and anomaly detection mechanisms to ensure data integrity across all layers.
• Integrate monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Databricks metrics, Grafana) to track ETL performance, latency, and failures.
• Implement Unity Catalog or equivalent tools for centralized metadata management, data lineage, and governance policy enforcement. 4. Security, Privacy, and Compliance:
• Enforce data security best practices including row-level security, encryption at rest/in transit, and fine-grained access control via Unity Catalog.
• Design and implement data masking, tokenization, and anonymization for compliance with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, FERPA).

• Hands-on experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, and Apache Spark for large-scale data engineering.
• Deep understanding of ELT pipeline development, orchestration, and monitoring in cloud-native environments.
• Experience implementing Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold) and working with data versioning and schema enforcement in enterprise grade environments.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, or Scala for data transformations and workflow logic.
• Proven experience integrating enterprise platforms (e.g., PeopleSoft, Salesforce, D2L) into centralized data platforms.
• Familiarity with data governance, lineage tracking, and metadata management tools. Apply tot his job
