• Design, develop, and operationalize robust and scalable data pipelines from enterprise applications, internal services, and third-party APIs that support business needs.
• Lead in designing and building production data pipelines from data ingestion to consumption using GCP services, Python, BigQuery, DBT, SQL, Apache Airflow, Celigo, etc.
• Drive AI adoption across the team's engineering workflowsthe team has a mandate for AI adoption, and you'll be expected to be a role model, to champion, remove friction, and help engineers integrate AI tools into their daily development, code review, documentation, and debugging practices.
• Design and oversee data models in a medallion architecture.
• Mandate high standards for data validation, profiling, reconciliation, and quality initiatives.
• Stay updated with industry trends and technologies to continuously improve our data engineering practices.

Requirements:

• Direct experience in the design and development of large-scale data solutions using GCP services like Dataproc, Dataflow, Cloud Bigtable, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Data Fusion, Cloud Composer, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Compute Engine, Looker, and Cloud IAM.
