  • Data Architecture & Design : Create physical database designs and data architectures for new databases, specifically focusing on Data Warehousing and Data Mart structures.

  • Data Standards & Governance : Research, develop, and implement data standardization documentation. Monitor and enforce database rules to ensure consistency and security.
  • Cyber Security : Research and implement vulnerability remediations to protect data assets against emerging threats.
  • Sustainment & Support : Support release cycles, time-sensitive infrastructure upgrades, and urgent technical priorities within a distributed cluster environment.
