You will be responsible for designing, building, and optimizing robust, scalable, and highly available data pipelines and ETL/ELT solutions exclusively within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role requires a strong focus on utilizing GCP's native data services to ensure data quality, automation, and performance optimization across the data lifecycle.
Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes using core GCP data services such as Cloud Dataflow (Apache Beam), Cloud Dataproc, and BigQuery.
Develop and optimize data infrastructure on GCP to ensure reliable, high-speed data ingestion (e.g., using Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Storage).
Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and validation to ensure accuracy and integrity of data across all GCP systems.
Collaborate closely with Data Scientists and Data Analysts to ensure data readiness for reporting, analytics, and Machine Learning initiatives (e.g., integrating with Vertex AI).
Automate deployment, monitoring, and testing of data infrastructure and pipelines using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CI/CD practices.
Manage and optimize GCP data storage solutions, primarily BigQuery (data warehouse) and Cloud Storage (data lake), for performance and cost efficiency.
Provide technical guidance and recommendations on data architecture and technology choices within the GCP ecosystem.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of proven experience as a Data Engineer, focusing heavily on building production-grade data pipelines.
Mandatory hands-on expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) data services, including BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Pub/Sub.
