- High level of personal accountability and a startup-oriented drive to help build high-performing environments from the ground up.
Job responsibilities
- Architectural Leadership & Solutioning:
- Liaise with key business stakeholders to translate customer requirements into modern, scalable production solutions.
- Solution and facilitate project deliverables related to GCP data lakehouses and enterprise data warehousing.
- Present core architectural concepts, roadmaps, and technical proposals clearly to internal teams and executive client stakeholders.
- Lead proof-of-concepts (POCs) for newly released Google Cloud technologies and integrate third-party data systems.
- Pipeline Engineering & Cloud Operations:
- Lead the design and implementation of modern data processing pipelines using Dataplex, Data Fusion, Data Catalog, Cloud Functions, and API integrations.
