About the Role

Drive a high-priority transformation initiative by uplifting and modernizing the enterprise Data Ingestion framework on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Combine high-level architectural design with deep data engineering expertise to define scalable, secure, and event-driven data pipeline architectures.

Responsibilities

• Design and architect the next-generation, enterprise-wide GCP Data Ingestion framework, transitioning legacy ingestion patterns toward real-time, scalable, and automated cloud workflows.
• Author comprehensive End-to-End Solution Design Documents (SDDs), technical blueprints, data mapping specifications, and ingestion patterns across batch and streaming sources.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership and guidance to data engineering squads building robust ingestion pipelines using GCP-native data services.
• Design secure ingestion interfaces connecting on-premises databases, SaaS platforms, third-party APIs, and streaming event hubs into BigQuery and Cloud Storage.
• Embed automated data quality validation, lineage tracking, encryption, and governance controls (IAM, Data Catalog, DLP) directly into the ingestion lifecycle.
• Evaluate system throughput, optimize data pipeline efficiency, reduce latency, and govern compute/storage costs across GCP data environments.

Requirements

• Extensive experience designing and building data pipelines using core GCP services such as BigQuery, Dataflow (Apache Beam), Pub/Sub, Dataproc, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Data Fusion / Composer (Airflow).
• Proven track record as a Solution Designer or Lead Data Architect crafting high-level and low-level designs for large-scale enterprise data platforms.
• Deep understanding of modern ingestion paradigms (batch, micro-batch, real-time event streaming, CDC/Change Data Capture, and API-driven ingestion).
• Advanced proficiency in SQL, schema design, data partitioning, and data modeling strategies optimized for analytical data warehouses (e.g., Star/Snowflake schemas, Data Vault).
• Strong coding capability in Python or Java/Scala, alongside Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and modern CI/CD data deployment pipelines.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate complex data architectural decisions to senior tech leads, product owners, and business stakeholders.
• Google Cloud Certifications (Professional Data Engineer or Professional Cloud Architect).
• Experience with orchestration tools like Apache Airflow or dbt.
• Knowledge of enterprise governance frameworks and regulatory compliance standards for data privacy.
• Valid work rights for Australia.
• Willingness to undergo a comprehensive background checking process, including probity and police checks.
