Job description

Manager Data Engineer

This role requires working closely with others, frequently in a matrixed environment, and with little supervision. As a Principal Data Engineer/Architect level, the role requires “self‑starters” who are proficient in problem solving and capable of bringing clarity to complex situations. It requires contributing to strategic technical direction and system architecture approaches for individual projects and platform migrations. The culture of the organization places an emphasis on teamwork, so social and interpersonal skills are equally important as technical capability. Due to the emerging and fast‑evolving nature of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) technology and practice, the position requires that one stay well‑informed of technological advancements and be proficient at putting new innovations into effective practice.

Responsible for leading development efforts, driving adoption and appropriate use of technology and consulting on internal and external development efforts to ensure code quality and sound architecture. This position assumes the responsibility for project success and the upward development of team members’ technical skills. They are the development team's point of contact that must interface with business partners of varying roles ranging from technical staff to executive leadership. In addition, the candidate will have a history of increasing responsibility in a small multi‑role team. The position requires a candidate who can analyze business requirements, perform design tasks, construct, test, and implement cutting‑edge technical data solutions with minimal supervision.

As a Principal Data Engineer/Architect, you will work closely with all team members to create a modular, scalable solution that addresses current needs, but will also serve as a foundation for future success. The position will be critical in building the team’s engineering practices in test‑driven development, continuous integration, and automated deployment and is a hands‑on team member who actively coaches the team to solve complex problems. She / he will be responsible for the design, development, performance, and support of the GCP Platform components.

This candidate will have a record of accomplishment of participation in successful projects in a fast‑paced, mixed team (consultant and employee) environment. In addition, the applicant must be willing to train and mentor other developers to prepare them for assuming their responsibilities.

As the Principal Engineer, you will be responsible for architecting and delivering next‑generation GenAI/LLM‑based solutions that will revolutionize the software development lifecycle. You will dive into the development process, from writing code using common developer tools, through the build, test, deploy process, and iterating with CI/CD systems. You will build the technical vision and roadmap for how we can evolve these tools and accelerate software development and delivery for all Google Cloud Platform users.
