• Partner cross-functionally to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions and serve as a subject matter expert on platform architecture and analytics infrastructure.
• Extend optimization capabilities to new operational domains while ensuring reliability, performance, and production readiness.
• Drive continuous improvement through emerging technologies, workflow automation, CI/CD enhancements, and production monitoring.

What you'll bring:

• Strong experience building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines and optimizing complex SQL queries at scale within cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.).
• Proficiency in Python with experience in FastAPI (or similar frameworks), plus familiarity with Java/Spring Boot and microservices-based architectures.
• Experience designing and supporting REST and GraphQL APIs, including federated/supergraph architectures, within distributed systems environments.
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run/Kubernetes, IAM) and workflow orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills with a customer-obsessed, analytical, and solution-oriented mindset.
