Experience Required

Demonstrated ability to design and implement scalable integration and data platforms on Google Cloud Platform, supporting high-volume batch and real-time workloads.

Strong hands-on expertise with BigQuery, including performance tuning, cost controls, and dimensionaldata vault-style modeling as applicable.

Deep experience building and operating Airflow Cloud Composer DAGs with enterprise scheduling, SLAs, alerting, and recovery procedures.

Strong experience implementing event-driven architectures using PubSub, including replay, deduplication, and DLQ patterns.

Solid production experience with Cloud Run services for integrationmicroservice workloads and secure connectivity to internalexternal systems.

Proven ability to integrate across enterprise systems using REST APIs, file-based integrations, and messaging patterns.

Ability to produce solution designs, technical specifications, runbooks, and operational SOPs.

Roles & Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end integration delivery for data and application integration initiatives on Google Cloud Platform (batch streaming event-driven).

- Architect and develop Airflow DAGs (Cloud Composer) for ingestion and transformation workflows with standardized templates, reusable components, and strong operational controls.

- Build scalable BigQuery data pipelines, optimize query performance, and implement cost governance (partitioning, clustering, query optimization, workload segregation).

- Develop and maintain Cloud Run services for integration APIs and workflow-trigger services enforce secure IAM-based access controls.

- Implement PubSub topicssubscriptions for event-based integration design for resiliency (retries, DLQ, idempotency, ordering if required).

- Establish and enforce best practices for logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident triage participate in RCA and preventive actions.

- Collaborate with architects, product owners, and downstream consumers to define interfaces, SLAs, data contracts, and operational support models.

- Support release planning, deployment, post-release monitoring, and ongoing production support for integrations and pipelines.

- Mentor engineers, conduct codedesign reviews, and ensure engineering excellence and documentation completeness.

- Drive continuous improvement through automation, standardization, and reduction of manual operational steps.
