Role focus

This person would review and improve our data lake documentation in Unity Catalog, trace the upstream data pipelines that generate the data, and update business-friendly definitions so the documentation reflects how the data is actually created and used.

Core responsibilities

• Review existing Unity Catalog table and field documentation and identify gaps, inaccuracies, and missing business context
• Analyze upstream data pipelines and SQL logic to understand how data is sourced, transformed, and published
• Document approved data use cases, including how specific datasets should be used for reporting, analysis, and AI/LLM scenarios
• Document data restrictions, including sensitive data considerations, inappropriate use cases, and areas where definitions or quality are not strong enough for broad agent or LLM use
• Help identify and structure use cases where LLMs or agents could responsibly interact with the data
• Test LLM responses against documented definitions and use cases to evaluate whether outputs are accurate, safe, and grounded in the intended business context
• Flag gaps in metadata, definitions, lineage, data quality, and ownership that must be addressed before wider AI enablement

Skills needed

• Strong SQL skills
• Experience working with data lake, warehouse, or analytics environments
• Ability to read and reason through data pipelines and transformation logic
• Strong documentation skills, especially translating technical logic into business-friendly definitions
• Comfortable leading discovery conversations with technical and business stakeholders
• Familiarity with data governance, data quality, semantic definitions, and responsible AI / LLM validation is strongly preferred
