The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, mentoring teams on GCP best practices and ensuring seamless data-driven solutions for enterprise clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end GCP data platform implementations, focusing on BigQuery for analytics, Pub/Sub for real-time messaging, and ETL pipelines using Dataflow, Composer, or custom tools.
• Architect and optimize high-volume data ingestion, transformation, and querying workflows to support business intelligence and ML workloads.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders—including product owners, data scientists, and executives—to gather requirements, define roadmaps, and deliver value through clear communication and presentations.
• Mentor junior engineers on GCP services, conduct code reviews, and enforce best practices for security, cost optimization, and scalability.
• Troubleshoot complex issues in production environments, perform performance tuning, and integrate with hybrid/multi-cloud setups.
• Drive migration projects from on-premise or other clouds (e.g., AWS/Cloudera) to GCP, ensuring minimal downtime and data integrity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Proven track record leading GCP projects with measurable outcomes (e.g., reduced ETL latency by 40% or scaled Pub/Sub to millions of events/sec).
• Strong communication skills for stakeholder management, including executive presentations and agile ceremonies.
• GCP certifications (e.g., Professional Data Engineer, Professional Cloud Architect) preferred.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Dataproc, Vertex AI, or integration with tools like Snowflake/Databricks.
