• Performing data cleansing, validation, standardization, metadata tagging, and supporting data lineage across data flows.
• Contributing to the Data and Product Catalogue and implementing data quality checks and monitoring.
• Designing solutions that combine structured data (databases, tabular datasets) with unstructured data (documents, reports, text) into reusable data products.
• Supporting AI-driven processing of document-centric data and contributing to AI-enabled use cases with explainability, traceability, and human-in-the-loop controls.

• Demonstrated experience integrating structured data (databases, tabular) with unstructured data (documents, PDFs, text corpora) end-to-end.
• Experience in analytics development, data modelling, and exposure to AI/ML on text/document-based data, with understanding of explainability and traceability.
• Knowledge of DevOps, Git, CI/CD, and pipeline automation; ability to work in multi-stakeholder environments.
• Strong English communication skills.
