Job Level
About the role
- Design, build, and maintain scalable ELT/ETL pipelines into BigQuery for core domains (orders, customers, products, inventory, fulfillment, procurement, marketing)
- Build orchestration patterns with strong operational rigor (retries, idempotency, backfills, SLAs/SLOs, incident response) to enable reliable delivery
- Implement data quality and testing frameworks (freshness checks, anomaly detection, unit/integration tests) and standardize monitoring/observability
- Standardize CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code patterns for data systems and guide teams on best practices for ingestion, transformation, and orchestration
- Lead modernization initiatives such as legacy warehouse to cloud lakehouse migrations and platform upgrades
- Create and own curated, analytics-ready datasets and models (dimensional/conformed, semantic-ready layers) that make reporting fast, consistent, and self-serve
- Establish and enforce standards for conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling
- Oversee domain-driven modeling and data product design through reusable patterns and reference implementations
- Establish data architecture standards including modeling conventions, schema evolution/versioning, incremental loading strategies, and warehouse performance patterns

- Evaluate and select strategic data technologies and vendors
- Partner with Security and Legal to design privacy and compliance architectures (GDPR/CCPA/SOC2-aligned approaches) and establish enterprise governance frameworks
- Build governance fundamentals including documentation, lineage/metadata, access controls, and PII handling
- Act as the escalation point for data architecture decisions and mentor senior engineers/architects through reviews, templates, and best practices
- Partner with application engineering and analytics stakeholders to define data contracts and ensure reliable upstream/downstream integrations
- Translate business capabilities into scalable data platform solutions
- Optimize cost and performance across BigQuery workloads (query optimization, partition pruning, clustering strategies, and workload management where applicable)
- Drive adoption of emerging capabilities (real-time analytics, AI enablement, semantic layers, data mesh) and develop multi-year data roadmap and maturity models
- Operate at enterprise scope across multiple business domains
- Influence strategy beyond the immediate team and set technical direction that others follow.
