Lead or significantly contribute to the migration and rehydration of approximately 500 Power BI reports in 2026, including re-pointing and optimizing data sources. Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data assets using Databricks Asset Bundles (DAB), Git Hub Actions, and other modern Dev Ops practices. Collaborate with data analysts, BI developers, and business stakeholders to ensure data availability, performance, and reliability. Optimize ETL/ELT processes for performance, cost, and maintainability. Establish best practices for version control, testing, and deployment of notebooks, workflows, and Delta Live Tables.
