Configure, schedule, and manage integrations using DIP/CDQ, EDGE, and Lineage Harvester, ensuring consistent ingestion of metadata, schemas, and lineage from multiple data sources. Perform connectivity and prerequisite validation with Application teams, ETL teams, and DBAs, including driver installation, credential management, network/firewall requirements and technical onboarding for new data sources. Investigate and resolve incidents related to Collibra integrations, lineage ingestion, and platform availability; collaborate with infrastructure teams to address root causes and prevent reoccurrence. Ensure configuration consistency across environments (DEV/QA/PROD), maintaining runbooks, documentation, and standard operating procedures. Provide regular, clear updates on operational status, risks, and issues to Development Managers and stakeholders. Other Tasks Support EMEA-wide Collibra platform stability by monitoring ingestion pipelines, schema drift, job failures, and performance degradation, ensuring reliable metadata and lineage availability. Maintain technical documentation, including integration configurations, onboarding guides, troubleshooting logs and operational checklists. Assist with access control operations, ensuring proper provisioning, least-privilege consistency, and audit-readiness for regulatory requirements.
