• Ensure that tables, columns, reports, APIs, and related technical assets are described accurately and consistently.
• Create, maintain, and improve end-to-end data lineage from source systems through transformation pipelines to downstream consumption.
• Support the implementation of data quality rules and expose data quality results through the catalog.
• Develop scripts and supporting tools to automate metadata ingestion and catalog-related workflows.
• Integrate automation into established CI/CD pipelines.
