This role is for a Fortune 500 client.

Responsibilities

• Design, evolve, and maintain scalable data orchestration platforms that simplify ETL/ELT operations and abstract the complexities of big data technologies.
• Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities for engineers, data scientists, and analysts.
• Develop and maintain integrations with diverse data sources and destinations, including Kafka, GCS, BigQuery, Postgres, and S3, supporting both batch and real-time processing.
• Provision and manage cloud data infrastructure using Terraform, leveraging automated and version-controlled Infrastructure as Code pipelines.
• Build, maintain, and orchestrate reliable data pipelines using Airflow and Kubernetes.
• Develop platform tooling, automation, services, and CLIs using Python.
• Build and operate metadata management, data cataloging, governance, and data‑lineage capabilities to make enterprise data discoverable and trustworthy.
• Design scalable and resilient solutions capable of handling large data volumes, high velocity, and diverse data formats.
• Apply modern CI/CD and Git‑based workflows to platform and data pipeline delivery.
• Evaluate and incorporate emerging big data, ETL, and AI‑assisted development technologies where appropriate.
• Create and maintain comprehensive technical and user documentation for platform capabilities and workflows.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5–7 years of professional experience in Data Engineering, Data Platform Engineering, or related software engineering roles.
• Strong professional programming experience with Python, including building and maintaining automation, services, and/or command‑line tools.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, particularly within modern cloud data environments such as BigQuery.
• Hands‑on experience designing and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines and a solid understanding of modern data pipeline architecture.
• Experience with modern data transformation frameworks such as dbt.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) data technologies, particularly BigQuery, GCS, and Dataproc Serverless.
• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly Terraform, for provisioning and managing cloud data infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience building and orchestrating data pipelines using Apache Airflow.
• Experience working with Kubernetes in data platform or cloud environments.
• Experience with streaming and event‑driven data technologies such as Kafka / Confluent Cloud.
• Working knowledge of data governance, metadata management, data cataloging, and data lineage concepts.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and Git‑based development workflows, including tools such as GitHub Actions.
• Experience using AI‑assisted developer tooling, including LLMs, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and/or copilot‑style productivity tools.
• Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and business teams.

Nice To Have

• Experience with AWS data and cloud technologies.
• Hands‑on experience with metadata, data cataloging, or data‑lineage platforms such as DataHub, Collibra, Amundsen, or similar tools.
• Experience with BI or semantic‑layer technologies such as Looker / LookML.
• Experience with data quality, observability, SLOs, error budgets, and production/on‑call operations for data platforms.
• Familiarity with distributed data processing frameworks such as Apache Spark.
• Experience with Java and/or Scala is a plus.
