  • Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; validate pipelines in CI/CD and staging environments prior to production promotion.
  • Produce connector runbooks, data contracts, transformation specs, and onboarding guides.
  • Collaborate with source system owners to obtain access, sample data, and schema/contract details.
  • Participate in 2-week Agile sprints under Boeing's sprint planning and task assignment process.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for data workloads (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Jenkins).
  • Understanding of data quality frameworks and schema evolution handling.
