Remote GCP Senior Data Engineer | Streaming Data Lead

Talent Movers; Alaska; Remote; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Part time

Job summary

Talent Movers is seeking a GCP Senior Data Engineer for a fully remote role. You will design and operate modern data pipelines using Pub/Sub, Dataflow, and Dataform, and own end-to-end delivery within the architect's frame.

Lead a pod of two to four engineers, mentor on streaming concepts, implement DLQ and replay, apply Dataplex and row-level security, and ensure logs and metrics are produced for the platform's operations. Strong Python and BigQuery skills required.

Qualifications

• Proven production streaming experience with Pub/Sub and Dataflow, or Kafka/Flink/Kinesis.

Responsibilities

• Own a source domain end-to-end: Pub/Sub consumption, Dataflow ingestion, bronze landing, Dataform conformance, and the resulting data mart.
• Confirm the source-side publishing contract with system owners and third-party integrators, applying the defined onboarding pattern.
• Build streaming pipelines handling ordering, idempotency, deduplication, and late-arriving events; implement and prove DLQ, archival, and replay.
• Build conformed and mart-layer Dataform models with assertions covering agreed data quality rules; conform shared dimensions rather than forking them.
• Build and operate reconciliation against the system of record and produce the evidence package for sign-off.
• Apply Dataplex registration, policy tags, and row-level security across the domain.
• Lead the pod: assign work, review code, hold the quality bar, and mentor on streaming concepts.
• Translate the target-state design into an executable build plan; translate architectural conflicts early rather than coding around them.
• Ensure every pipeline emits structured logs and metrics so the platform's operations layer can monitor it; write runbooks and lead hypercare for the domain.
