  • Manage capacity, workload balance, and resource planning across initiatives
  • Partner with leadership to align engineering priorities with strategic goals

Technical Leadership & Architecture
  • Define and enforce data engineering standards, patterns, and best practices
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership across BigQuery, dbt, and ingestion frameworks
  • Guide architecture decisions for scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data pipelines

  • Support and review dbt models, transformations, and orchestration workflows
  • Implement orchestration using Cloud Composer (Managed Airflow)
  • Act as an escalation point for complex technical issues and delivery risks

Data Quality, Observability & Governance
  • Enforce data quality, validation, and monitoring standards across pipelines
  • Implement logging, alerting, and observability frameworks
  • Ensure performance optimization for BigQuery (partitioning, clustering, cost management)
  • Enforce security best practices including IAM roles, data access, and auditability
  • Drive adherence to data lineage, documentation, and governance requirements

Platform Engineering & Enablement
  • Champion CI/CD practices using GitHub and modern deployment pipelines
  • Drive Infrastructure-as-Code standards (Terraform) for platform consistency
  • Improve developer experience, onboarding, and engineering productivity
  • Collaborate with Data Governance and Data Champions to enable domain ownership

What You'll Need
  • 8+ years of data engineering experience with enterprise-scale platforms
  • 2+ years of experience leading or managing data engineering teams
  • Strong hands-on expertise with GCP and BigQuery
  • Advanced experience with dbt (required)
  • Experience with Fivetran and API-based ingestion frameworks
  • Strong Python skills including API integrations and automation
  • Proven experience building scalable ELT pipelines and data models
  • Experience with data quality, validation frameworks, and observability
  • Proficiency with GitHub, CI/CD workflows, and code review practices
  • Strong understanding of data governance, lineage, and access controls
  • Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., healthcare) preferred

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
  • Experience leading teams through cloud data platform migrations (e.g., Snowflake → BigQuery)
  • Experience with Terraform (IaC) and platform automation
  • Familiarity with Harness CI/CD and GitHub Actions
  • Experience with Snowflake and Azure Data Factory (ADF)
  • Knowledge of data mesh / domain-driven data ownership models
  • Experience driving engineering standards across distributed teams
