Jobbeschreibung

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Data Engineer-GCP/Data Solutions based in United States. This is a senior technical role focused on designing and delivering scalable data solutions that support analytics, applications, data science, and business decision-making. You will architect complex batch and real-time data pipelines across cloud environments, with a strong emphasis on GCP, AWS, BigQuery, and Databricks. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, requiring you to solve complex data challenges and influence architecture and engineering standards. You will collaborate closely with Product, Data Science, Application, Analytics, Business, and Engineering teams to translate evolving requirements into reliable data solutions. Your work will span data integration, streaming, warehousing, data quality, monitoring, security, scalability, and production support. As a Staff-level contributor, you will also mentor engineers, participate in design reviews, and help advance tools, patterns, and technical practices. The ideal candidate is a strategic and adaptable data engineer who can operate effectively in high-scale, mission-critical environments while delivering high-quality results.

Accountabilities

• Design and implement data patterns that support analytics datasets, including data cleansing, standardization, calculations, validation, and the mapping and linking of information across multiple sources.
• Build, maintain, streamline, and orchestrate complex end-to-end data pipelines across large-scale cloud environments, including GCP and AWS.
• Design and develop scalable data warehousing, data integration, and streaming solutions using technologies such as BigQuery and Databricks.
• Develop large-scale batch and real-time data pipelines using big data Change Data Capture (CDC) processing frameworks and structured streaming technologies.
• Design and implement real-time streaming solutions using Pub/Sub or comparable streaming tables and data lake technologies.
• Build and support complex data pipelines and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), identifying and integrating complex upstream data sources to enable new capabilities.
• Develop and maintain data integrations supporting application engineering, system integration, analytics, and broader business requirements.
• Perform data validation, quality assurance, automated testing, and end-to-end technical testing to ensure data integrity, system functionality, and solution reliability.
• Design and implement data quality checks and monitoring capabilities aligned with business Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and data quality requirements.
• Diagnose and resolve complex production support issues while maintaining the performance, scalability, reliability, security, and efficiency of data platforms.
• Participate in technical and architectural design reviews with Staff Engineers and adapt engineering patterns based on emerging technologies, tools, and best practices.
• Contribute to the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including planning, design, development, certification, implementation, testing, and ongoing support.
• Collaborate with Product, Data Science, Application, Analytics, Business, and other technical teams to understand data and infrastructure requirements and resolve complex data-related challenges.
• Work with external technical teams, shared services organizations, and vendors when necessary to deliver timely and high-quality solutions.
• Develop documentation, training materials, technology standards, and engineering guidance for assigned teams.
• Contribute to the refinement of engineering tools, standards, processes, and training across the organization.
• Build complex data models that enable insightful analytics while maintaining high standards of data integrity and quality.
• Apply machine learning concepts and contribute to predictive model implementations, including prompt engineering considerations for AI models.
• Contribute to overall data architecture, modeling, security, scalability, reliability, and performance decisions.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to Senior Data Engineers while participating in peer reviews and fostering continuous learning across the team.
