Support day-to-day operations of the HR2030 Medallion lakehouse, ensuring reliable data ingestion, processing, and availability across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers.

What you'll do

• Monitor Medallion pipeline schedules, execution status, dependencies, and data freshness across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers; identify missed loads, delays, and processing failures.
• Investigate alerts and operational incidents using logs and data checks; execute approved reruns, restarts, and recovery procedures, validate results, and escalate unresolved issues against agreed service targets.
• Perform routine completeness, accuracy, duplication, and source-to-target reconciliation checks; log exceptions, coordinate remediation, and confirm data readiness for downstream consumption.
• Manage the daily support queue, prioritize requests by business impact, and perform approved data reloads, backfills, and routine maintenance following established controls and runbooks.
• Follow HR data privacy, security, access, and retention requirements; maintain execution evidence and coordinate access requests through approved processes.
• Support operational readiness checks, testing, and deployment validation for pipeline changes; confirm monitoring, support documentation, recovery procedures, and handover are in place.
• Work with source-system owners, engineering teams, and data-product consumers to resolve feed issues, schema changes, and dependency failures; communicate expected recovery times and business impacts.
• Maintain daily service-health updates, incident records, and shift handovers for India/US teams; track pipeline success, data freshness, incident ageing, resolution times, and recurring issues.
• Support root-cause analysis, implement approved corrective actions, automate repeatable checks, and identify performance and resource-usage improvements to reduce recurring incidents and manual effort.
