• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists and Data Analysts to ensure data readiness for reporting, analytics, and Machine Learning initiatives (e. g. , integrating with Vertex AI).
• Automate deployment, monitoring, and testing of data infrastructure and pipelines using Infrastructure as Code (Ia
  C) tools like Terraform and CI/CD practices.
• Manage and optimise GCP data storage solutions, primarily Big
  Query (data warehouse) and Cloud Storage (data lake), for performance and cost efficiency.
• Provide technical guidance and recommendations on data architecture and technology choices within the GCP ecosystem.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of proven experience as a Data Engineer focusing on production‑grade data pipelines.
• Hands‑on expertise with GCP data services, including Big

• Strong proficiency in SQL and extensive experience with data warehousing concepts and data modelling techniques.
• Expertise in at least one programming language commonly used for data engineering (Python highly preferred).
• Experience with Ia
  C tools like Terraform for automating GCP data infrastructure deployment.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and ETL/ELT frameworks.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a passion for continuous learning and data governance.
