Megazone Cloud is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help lead and define our data-driven culture on Google
Cloud. You are a "builder" at heart, a seasoned expert who thrives on solving complex problems. You have a startup
mentality, a thirst for knowledge, and the ability to lead projects and mentor others.
You have deep expertise in data architecture and data wrangling, and you are a master of Python, SQL, and BigQuery.
You've architected platforms that other people's businesses run on, and you know the difference between a pipeline
that works and a pipeline that survives contact with the real world.
At L5 you lead ambiguous projects from conception to delivery and act as the technical point of contact for a client
workstream. You're a "force multiplier" - your presence makes the engineers around you better.
- Architect, build, and lead: Architect and own scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines on Google
- Define the data ecosystem: Drive the strategy for a client's data environment, leveraging BigQuery and the GCP
- Write and review critical code: Develop clean, optimized, and automated solutions using Python and SQL. Set the
standard for code quality and run rigorous, kind code reviews.
- Face the client: Lead technical discussions in your workstream - demos, working sessions, architecture reviews,
and knowledge-transfer workshops - and translate business requirements into technical decisions.
- De-risk: Prototype solutions, evaluate new services, and surface risks before they become escalations.
- Collaborate and multiply: Act as a key "force multiplier" within our cross-functional US and offshore teams, and
mentor junior engineers into engineers you'd want on your next project.
- Be a flexible leader: Embrace a "builder" mentality. In a startup, you'll have the flexibility to solve diverse
challenges, and your voice will be critical in shaping our technical roadmap.
