Cloud & Data Tools Engineer

• Build and deploy Docker container images and run supported applications on Google Cloud services, including Cloud Run.
• Help data team members deploy and maintain Streamlit applications, including troubleshooting deployment issues and providing light Python debugging support.
• Support Google Cloud sandbox environments used by the team; investigate common issues and coordinate with cloud support teams when needed.
• Manage and troubleshoot permissions exceptions and service-account access for Google Cloud and Ford Cloud Portal (FCP) resources, following applicable security and governance processes.
• Help users determine the appropriate account or service identity for a resource and investigate cases where the required service account or permission is unavailable.
• Coordinate with Global Data and Intelligence (GDIA) data stewards and other data owners to submit, track, and resolve data-access requests on behalf of team members.
• Perform data-stewardship activities for assets created or maintained by the team, including helping ensure that ownership, access, and supporting information are handled appropriately.
• Help prepare team web applications for the team’s internal web platform, including packaging, deployment, and basic troubleshooting.
• Support the team website and related applications, including resolving issues that affect usability or routine operation.
• Assist with data and content workflows for team communication tools, including troubleshooting image or other asset uploads to BigQuery-backed services where applicable.
• Document recurring procedures, known issues, and deployment or access guidance so that common tasks can be completed consistently.
• Work with GDIA, FCP, and relevant IT organizations to route requests, clarify requirements, and resolve issues that are outside the team’s direct control.

What success looks like:

• Team members can get access and get unblocked: data requests and cloud-access issues are routed, tracked, and resolved through clear, dependable processes.
• Development environments are dependable: team sandboxes and analysis tools are maintained, and recurring problems are documented and addressed efficiently.
• Applications are easier to deploy and support: team members receive practical help packaging and deploying internal applications, with common steps made repeatable.
• Access is handled responsibly: service accounts, permissions, and data-stewardship activities follow the appropriate security and governance expectations.
• Cross-team work is effective: requests involving GDIA, FCP, or IT partners are communicated clearly and followed through to resolution.
• Support becomes more sustainable: recurring fixes and operational knowledge are captured, reducing avoidable one-off troubleshooting.

• 3+ years experience in:
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), particularly Cloud Run and BigQuery.
  • Experience developing or supporting Streamlit applications.
  • Familiarity with JupyterLab and cloud-based data-analysis environments.
  • Experience supporting sandbox environments, service accounts, IAM permissions, or cloud access workflows.
  • Experience working with data stewards, data owners, or enterprise IT and cloud-support teams.
