• Contribute to Retail Media event tracking infrastructure and ensure data quality validation.
• Support the development of a semantic layer bridging BigQuery Gold tables to downstream BI tooling.
• Engage in architecture discussions, identifying improvement points and shaping platform-level decisions.
• Embed DataOps best practices across the team, including CI/CD, testing, and observability.
• Collaborate with ML engineers and data scientists to productionize models and AI tooling.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to technical documentation and engineering standards.

What Will You Bring to the Team?

• Demonstrable senior-level experience in building and delivering data engineering solutions.
• Strong Python skills and solid SQL experience with BigQuery or equivalent cloud data warehouses.
• Deep expertise in data pipeline design, including ETL/ELT and schema design.
• Hands-on experience with dbt Core and Airflow for orchestration and transformation.
• Solid grounding in data warehouse and data lake architecture.
• Production experience with GCP and AWS, comfortable operating across both clouds.
• Familiarity with observability tooling and a proactive approach to system health.
• Active engagement with AI/ML tooling and curiosity about how they reshape data products.
• A track record of contributing to design decisions and supporting the growth of colleagues.
