Job Description
Data Architect, Metadata Specialist
Solerity
• Define required tags, allowed values, and tagging standards (dataset/table/column), including inheritance rules. • Map database objects to logical names and plain-language definitions aligned to mission and functional use. • Translate governance requirements into implementable tagging rules and measurable acceptance criteria. • Define policy-enabling tags that support ABAC/ICAM enforcement use cases (e.g., classification, CUI/PII, dissemination/release constraints). • Specify minimum provenance/lineage fields needed to explain source, movement, and transformations for auditability. • Set metadata quality gates for completeness and correctness; manage and document exceptions/deviations with a clear workflow. • Provide rules, templates, and patterns that enable automation (pattern-based tagging, rulesets, validation checks). • Validate export structures for catalog ingestion readiness (required fields, traceability) and support JSON/XML/CSV outputs. • Brief stakeholders, support PoC demonstrations, and capture feedback for scaling beyond the PoC dataset.
