• Build reusable frameworks and tooling (ingestion, transformation, quality, orchestration) that can be adopted by multiple product and domain teams.
• Enable selfservice data consumption and governance by standardizing patterns, templates, and platform capabilities rather than oneoff pipelines.
• Design logical and physical data platform architectures leveraging BigQuery, Dataflow/Apache Beam, Dataproc/Spark, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Storage.
• Define and implement standardized ingestion, transformation, and serving patterns (batch and streaming) as reusable blueprints.
• Optimize cost, performance, and reliability of GCP data workloads (partitioning, clustering, storage classes, autoscaling strategies).
• Build opinionated data ingestion frameworks (e.g., configdriven pipelines, connectors, schema handling, error handling) on top of Dataflow, Dataproc, or Composer.
• Develop shared transformation libraries in Python/SQL/Beam (e.g., common SCD patterns, data quality checks, masking/tokenization routines).
• Provide orchestration capabilities via Cloud Composer or Cloud Workflows with reusable DAGs/templates and CI/CD integration.
• Implement robust data modeling (dimensional, data vault, or canonical models) and semantic layers in BigQuery and related tools.
• Enforce data quality, lineage, and observability using standardized metrics, validation rules, and monitoring dashboards.
• Apply security and governance controls: IAM, VPCSC, CMEK, row/columnlevel security, and policydriven access patterns
• Partner with domain data engineers, analytics, and ML teams to onboard use cases onto platform services and frameworks
• Document patterns, runbooks, and best practices, and provide enablement through workshops and code examples.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with logging/monitoring stacks (Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, error reporting, metrics dashboards
• Experience with automated testing, data quality checks, and monitoring for pipelines and platform services.
• Knowledge of cloud architecture principles (networking, security, IAM, reliability, cost management).
• Experience with core GCP data services: BigQuery, Dataflow/Apache Beam, Dataproc, Pub/Sub.

• Experience with Agile transformations and technology roadmaps.
• Experience working with onshore and offshore teams.
