• Build analytics-ready pipelines that transform raw data into trusted, curated datasets for reporting, dashboards, and advanced analytics.
• Implement transformation logic using DBT to create modular, maintainable, and reusable data models that evolve with business needs.
• Apply BigQuery best practices—including partitioning, clustering, and query optimization—to ensure high performance and scalability.
• Automate and monitor complex data workflows using Airflow/Cloud Composer, ensuring dependable pipeline orchestration and job execution.
• Develop efficient, reusable Python and SQL code for data ingestion, transformation, validation, and performance tuning across the pipeline lifecycle.
• Establish robust data quality checks and testing strategies to validate both technical accuracy and alignment with business logic.
• Partner with architects and Technical leads to establish best practices, scalable frameworks, and reference implementations across projects.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including data analysts, BI developers, and product owners—to understand integration needs and deliver impactful, business-aligned data solutions.
• Leverage modern ETL platforms such as Ascend.io, Databricks, Dataflow, or Fivetran to accelerate development and improve observability and orchestration.
• Contribute to technical documentation, CI/CD workflows, and monitoring processes to drive transparency, reliability, and continuous improvement across the data engineering ecosystem.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct peer code reviews, and lead technical discussions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical field.
