About the Role:

The Data Engineer will design, build, and operate scalable, reliable data pipelines and data products on a GCP‑based Lakehouse architecture. This role focuses on enabling analytics, AI/ML, and data products by leveraging Google Cloud Platform services while adhering to open data standards to support long‑term portability and interoperability.
You will work closely with platform engineers, architects, data product owners, and governance teams to deliver trusted, well‑governed datasets using modern batch and streaming patterns on GCP.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Data Pipeline Development (Batch & Streaming)

• Design and implement batch and streaming data pipelines on GCP using services such as Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Composer.
• Build ingestion and transformation pipelines that support raw, curated, and consumption‑ready datasets aligned to Lakehouse patterns.
• Optimize pipelines for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency on GCP.

2. Lakehouse & Open Data Standards

• Implement data storage and processing using Lakehouse principles, including separation of storage and compute.
• Work with open table formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg or equivalent) and open file formats (e.g., Parquet) to enable interoperability across engines.
• Support schema evolution, time‑travel, and transactional consistency where required by analytics and AI use cases.

3. Data Modeling & Data Products

• Design analytical data models optimized for BI, reporting, and advanced analytics on GCP.
• Partner with data product owners to deliver reusable, well‑documented data products.
• Ensure datasets are discoverable, understandable, and trusted by downstream consumers.

4. Data Quality, Governance & Lineage

• Implement automated data quality checks and validation rules as part of data pipelines.
• Capture and publish metadata and lineage in alignment with enterprise standards and platform capabilities.
• Follow defined security and access‑control patterns for sensitive and regulated data.

5. DataOps & Operational Excellence

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for data workloads, including automated testing and deployment.
• Monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines to ensure operational stability.
• Participate in production support and incident resolution for data pipelines.
• Apply FinOps‑aware practices to manage and optimize GCP data processing costs.

6. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Collaborate with platform engineers and architects to align pipeline implementations with platform standards.
• Contribute to shared frameworks, templates, and best practices for data engineering on GCP.
• Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge sharing within the data engineering community.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or related roles.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Google Cloud Platform, including services such as:
• Cloud Storage
• BigQuery
• Dataflow / Dataproc
• Pub/Sub
• Cloud Composer
• Proficiency in Python and SQL for data processing and transformation.
• Experience building batch and streaming data pipelines in production environments.
• Solid understanding of Lakehouse architecture concepts and modern analytics data modeling.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with open table formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg) and multi‑engine query patterns. [GCP Activation Plan | PowerPoint]
• Familiarity with Dataplex, data catalogs, or metadata management tools on GCP.
• Exposure to AI/ML pipelines or integration with Vertex AI. [GCP Activation Plan | PowerPoint]
• Experience with infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., Terraform) and DevOps/DataOps practices.
• Prior experience in cloud‑agnostic or multi‑cloud data platforms.
