This role involves designing, developing, and refining scalable data platforms that integrate smoothly with data ingestion systems, warehousing solutions, AI/ML pipelines such as Vertex AI, and comprehensive data governance tools like Data Catalog. The ideal candidate combines technical leadership with strategic foresight.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and implement scalable, real-time data solutions leveraging Apache Flink, Kafka, Lakehouse architecture, Apache Paimon, Apache Doris, and BigQuery.
- Enhance data pipelines for both batch and streaming workloads to achieve low latency and high throughput performance.
- Lead Google Cloud Platform data engineering efforts encompassing data ingestion (Pub/Sub, Dataflow), warehousing (BigQuery, Dataproc), and machine learning pipelines (Vertex AI, TFX).
- Apply DataOps and MLOps methodologies to maintain CI/CD processes, monitoring, and governance frameworks.
- Deploy and manage metadata and data catalog systems such as GCP Data Catalog, Collibra, or Alation to support metadata management, data lineage tracking, and regulatory compliance.
- Ensure strict adherence to data quality standards, security protocols, and controlled access policies.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with AI/ML teams to operationalize models and integrate analytics into business workflows.
- Mentor and support engineering teams while promoting cloud-native data architecture best practices.
Required Qualifications
- A minimum of 8 years of experience in data engineering, architecture, or related solution roles with at least 3 years dedicated to Google Cloud Platform environments.
- Proficient with real-time data processing technologies such as Flink, Kafka, Apache Paimon, Apache Doris, and Spark.
- Hands-on expertise with GCP tools including BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Dataproc, Vertex AI, and Cloud Storage.
- Strong programming and query skills in SQL, Python, Java, and Scala; familiar with data lakehouse frameworks like Delta Lake, Iceberg, or Hudi.
- Experience managing data catalogs and metadata using platforms like GCP Data Catalog or OpenMetadata.
- Demonstrated success designing large-scale data platforms managing volumes exceeding 10 million rows per day.
- Capable of translating complex business requirements into effective technical architectures.
- Certifications such as Google Professional Data Engineer or their AWS/Azure equivalents are advantageous.
Preferred Skills
- Knowledge of multi-cloud data integrations, for example, integrating AWS S3 with GCP services.
- Exposure to large language model (LLM) pipelines, vector databases, or workflows involving generative AI.
