US/Canada - GCP Senior Data Engineer - Consulting/Mentoring/Hands-on

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're looking for a senior data engineer to build and harden data pipelines on GCP — BigQuery, Dataflow/Dataform, Composer/Airflow, and Pub/Sub — with strong SQL and Python. This is a consultative seat, not heads-down build: you'll pair with and mentor client-side junior engineers, review their work, and set patterns the client team can maintain after we leave. You should be comfortable being questioned in a working session — this role is as much about how you explain and defend design decisions as it is about writing the pipeline itself.
