• Engineer scalable batch and real-time streaming data pipelines in a modern cloud environment (GCP preferred).
• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to design reliable grounding strategies for AI applications and agents.
• Implement metadata management capabilities including cataloging, lineage, observability, and automated data quality checks.
• Apply DataOps principles including CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment automation for data products.
• Support domain-oriented and microservices-based data architecture patterns.
• Mentor engineers and promote best practices in semantic modeling, governance, and AI-ready platform design.
  
  
  

What We are Looking For:

• 10–15 years of experience in enterprise-scale cloud data engineering and distributed systems.
• Strong hands-on experience building modern data platforms in GCP (BigQuery, Dataform, Pub/Sub, Composer/Airflow, Cloud Run).
• Deep expertise in SQL, Python, and data modeling (dimensional modeling, lakehouse architectures).
• Experience with open-source tech stack such as Iceberg, Trino, Kubernetes, Docker etc.
• Hands-on experience with metadata management, lineage tracking, observability, and data quality frameworks.
• Experience building both batch and real-time streaming data systems.
• Strong understanding of semantic modeling, business metric governance, and AI consumption patterns.
  
  
  

What Will Set You Apart :

• Experience with Data Mesh or domain-driven data architecture.
• Exposure to AI/LLM integration patterns including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
• Supply chain background
