The Data Engineer is a critical role responsible for designing, building, and maintaining timely and robust pipelines and data assets that enable data-driven insights and applications.

Working in close collaboration with other data teams, the Data Engineer seamlessly integrates new data assets with existing data products.

The Data Engineer maximizes productivity by developing flexible and reusable data pipeline code through dynamic configuration and templating, enabling rapid adaptation to new data sources and avoidance of development overhead.

The Data Engineer maintains a high level of professional integrity by producing clean, modular, and well-documented code that promotes collaboration, reduces operational overhead, and accelerates future development efforts.

This role requires expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and its data services to effectively manage and process large-scale datasets.

This is a 18 month contract role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Data Ingestion and Processing: Design and implement robust data pipelines to collect, clean, transform, and store large volumes of data using GCP services like BigQuery and Cloud Storage, as well as DataBricks

• Data Warehousing and Analytics: Build and optimize data warehouses on Google BigQuery for efficient data analysis and reporting.

• Data Modeling: Design and implement scalable data models to support strategic data products, business intelligence, and machine learning applications.

• ETL/ELT Development: Develop and maintain Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) or Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) processes using GCP tools.

• Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize data pipelines and queries for performance and cost-effectiveness.

• Collaboration: Work closely with data scientists, analysts, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements and deliver data solutions.
