2. Develop robust connectors to ingest data from a wide variety of sources, including government APIs, central bank databases, and third-party data feeds.
3. Build and manage a scalable, ethical web scraping infrastructure to extract data from public sources like real estate portals and news sites.
4. Implement rigorous data quality, validation, and cleaning processes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our data.
5. Create transformation logic to standardise diverse international data, including handling currency conversions, unit standardisation (e.g., sq ft vs. sq m), and geographical mapping.
6. Play a key role in defining our data acquisition strategy, assessing the feasibility and legality of sourcing data from various channels.
7. Own the data lifecycle from raw extraction to its final, query-ready state in our data warehouse.
