Desirable

• We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, develop, and optimize our data infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• You will architect scalable pipelines using Databricks, BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, Apache Airflow, dbt, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub, ensuring high availability and performance across our ETL/ELT processes
• You will leverage great expectations to enforce data quality standards
• The role also involves building our Data Mart (Data Mach) environment, containerizing services with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s), and implementing CI/CD best practices
• Define and implement the overall data architecture on GCP, including data warehousing in BigQuery, data lake patterns in Google Cloud Storage, and Data Mart (Data Mach) solutions
• Integrate Terraform for Infrastructure as Code to provision and manage cloud resources efficiently
• Establish both batch and real-time data processing frameworks to ensure reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency
• Design, build, and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using Apache Airflow for workflow orchestration
• Implement dbt (Data Build Tool) transformations to maintain version-controlled data models in BigQuery, ensuring consistency and reliability across the data pipeline
• Use Google Dataflow (based on Apache Beam) and Pub/Sub for large-scale streaming/batch data processing and ingestion
• Automate job scheduling and data transformations to deliver timely insights for analytics, machine learning, and reporting
• Implement event-driven or asynchronous data workflows between microservices
• Employ Docker and Kubernetes (K8s) for containerization and orchestration, enabling flexible and efficient microservices-based data workflows
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for streamlined development, testing, and deployment of data engineering components
• Enforce data quality standards using Great Expectations or similar frameworks, defining and validating expectations for critical datasets
• Define and uphold metadata management, data lineage, and auditing standards to ensure trustworthy datasets
• Implement security best practices, including encryption at rest and in transit, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and compliance with GDPR or CCPA where applicable
• Integrate with Looker (or similar BI tools) to provide data consumers with intuitive dashboards and real-time insights
• Collaborate with Data Science, Analytics, and Product teams to ensure the data infrastructure supports advanced analytics, including machine learning initiatives
• Maintain Data Mart (Data Mach) environments that cater to specific business domains, optimizing access and performance for key stakeholders
