• Implement and maintain low-latency Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines feeding the enterprise data warehouse
• Build and run automated CI/CD pipelines across development, QA, and production
• Keep code quality and system stability high by following data engineering standards, security protocols, and operational best practices
• Practice cloud cost efficiency — right-sizing environments, removing idle infrastructure, and enforcing tagging standards
• Maintain clear documentation: architecture, release notes, runbooks, and solution designs
• Use AI-assisted development tools to cut manual toil and sharpen engineering processes
• Collaborate in a cross-functional Agile/Scrum team delivering data initiatives iteratively

Requirements:

• Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases
• Experience building ETL/ELT pipelines using an ingestion platform such as Fivetran, plus orchestration tools
• Hands-on experience with low-latency CDC pipelines from source relational databases into a data warehouse
• Hands-on GCP experience — BigQuery, Datastream, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Cloud Composer
• Experience with data ingestion from ERP systems such as AS400, SAP, or Dynamics 365
• DevOps and CI/CD experience with GitHub, GitLab, or Jenkins
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
