  • Hands-on experience implementing data quality rules using DQLabs.ai, Snowflake, or similar data quality/governance platforms.
  • Strong SQL expertise for developing custom data quality rules and validations.
  • Experience working with enterprise data governance, data quality metrics, and data management best practices.
  • Ability to collaborate with business and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into actionable DQ rules.

  • Familiarity with master data management (MDM), metadata management, or enterprise data governance frameworks.
  • Previous experience partnering with SaaS vendors on product enhancements and issue resolution.
  • Knowledge of Snowflake best practices, cloud data ecosystems, and data modeling.
