- Develop and monitor Airflow DAGs using dbt and Python to ensure timely, reliable data flows. Sync with engineering teams to anticipate data changes coming from our platform. We use the GCP’s managed Airflow environment, and our code is on Github.
- Keep existing pipelines, Airflow, dbt, and ingestion tools (Fivetran, Datastream) running smoothly with minimal downtime. We ingest data from Salesforce and other sources using Fivetran, but most of our data comes from PostgreSQL via Datastream. Some other integrations run through dbt tasks using the source APIs.
- Keep technical docs keep up to date to help others understand the data stack and workflows. We keep everything documented in Confluence.
