Dev Team — Backend Data Engineering

The team responsible for ELT pipelines, data modeling, and data quality in the warehouse. The load-bearing discipline for any composable architecture.

Dev Team — Backend Data Engineering

Owns ELT pipelines, data modeling (dim/fact, semantic layers), and data quality in the warehouse. The load-bearing discipline for composable CDP architectures — without it, a composable stack drifts into chaos within months.

Capabilities the team enables. Identity resolution in the CDW, audience composition via SQL, data-quality SLAs, schema governance.

When this team is missing. Recommend packaged or hybrid architectures that require less DE muscle. The agent should not recommend "build it on Snowflake" to an organization without DE staffing — the recommendation will fail.

  • prerequisite-ofcapability.identity-resolutionIn a composable architecture, identity resolution is the primary ownership responsibility of the data engineering team.
  • prerequisite-ofcapability.audience-segmentationComposable CDP audience segmentation is implemented as SQL queries or dbt models in the CDW — authored and maintained by the data engineering team. The absence of this team in composable architectures means segmentation must stay in the packaged CDP UI.
