- Support migration initiatives from legacy systems (e.g., MS SQL) to cloud-based architectures on Google Cloud Platform, including BigQuery.
- Contribute to architectural decisions, best practices, and data engineering standards across the team.
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to a small team of data engineers.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering or related backend/data-focused roles, including team leadership exposure.
- Strong proficiency in SQL, including window functions, complex joins, and query optimization.
- Solid Python programming experience with at least 1+ year of hands-on development in data engineering contexts.
- Experience working with Airflow for orchestration of data workflows.
- Hands-on experience with data warehouses and BI tools such as MSSQL, SSRS, Superset, or equivalent platforms.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, including managed data services.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, distributed environment.
- Previous experience leading or mentoring small engineering teams.
Benefits

- 28 calendar days of annual vacation
- 7 additional wellness days per year
- Annual health-related reimbursement up to $1,000 (for insurance or medical expenses)
