About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop scalable, secure data pipelines from on-premise systems of record to Google Cloud Platform services (BigQuery, BigTable, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Composer).
Leverage and extend capability roadmaps for reusable frameworks and tooling (ingestion, transformation, quality, orchestration) actively being developed by the larger organization.
Enable self‑service data consumption and governance by standardizing patterns, templates, and sandbox capabilities rather than one‑off pipelines.
Support use cases for training, validation and monitoring leveraging BigQuery, Dataflow/Apache Beam, Dataproc/Spark, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Storage.
Create standardized feature transformation pipelines and a common feature store with strong lineage, dictionary and high availability for models.
Ensure appropriate cost, performance, and reliability of GCP data workloads (partitioning, clustering, storage classes, autoscaling strategies).
Develop transformation libraries in Python/SQL/Beam (e.g., common SCD patterns, data quality checks, masking/tokenization routines).
Provide orchestration capabilities via Cloud Composer or Cloud Workflows with reusable DAGs/templates and CI/CD integration.
Implement robust data modeling (dimensional, data vault, or canonical models) and semantic layer implementations with BigQuery or similar tools.
Enforce data quality, lineage, and observability using standardized metrics, validation rules, and monitoring dashboards.
Partner with data scientists and domain solution teams to migrate existing models onto GCP capabilities.
Document patterns, runbooks, and best practices, and provide enablement through workshops and code examples.
