Data Architect - GCP / BigQuery / Power BI

Experience: 10+ years in data engineering and architecture, including 4+ years designing data platforms on GCP

Key Responsibilities

Discovery and assessment

Assess the current client data landscape: the PostgreSQL schemas, volumes and growth; the third-party spreadsheets; the REST API integrations; and the HTML sources.
Run workshops with business owners, product, IT, security and report consumers. Capture KPIs, reporting needs, data freshness SLAs and pain points.
Document current data flows, dependencies, data ownership and data quality issues.

Target architecture design

Design the end-to-end data platform on GCP: ingestion, landing zone (GCS), BigQuery warehouse, transformation, semantic layer and Power BI consumption.
Define an ingestion pattern for each source type:
- PostgreSQL: CDC or incremental loads (for example, Datastream)
- REST APIs: Cloud Run or Cloud Functions with Pub/Sub or Cloud Scheduler
- Spreadsheets: GCS or Google Sheets with schema validation
- HTML files: parsing and extraction pipelines
Define the BigQuery layers (Raw → Curated → Marts), naming conventions and how datasets and projects are organized.
Design dimensional data models (star schemas and SCD handling) optimized for Power BI.
Pick the orchestration and transformation stack (Cloud Composer, Dataform/dbt, Dataflow) and record each choice in Architecture Decision Records.

Scalability, performance and cost

Plan capacity for 10-20% monthly growth. That rate takes ~1 TB to roughly 3-9 TB within 12 months.
Set standards for partitioning, clustering, materialized views, BI Engine and query optimization.
Recommend a BigQuery pricing model (on-demand or Editions/slot reservations), storage lifecycle policies and cost guardrails.

Power BI integration

Define the connectivity approach (Import, Direct Query or Composite), gateway needs and refresh strategy, including incremental refresh.
Guide semantic model design, row-level security (RLS) and workspace/deployment strategy.

Security, governance and quality

Design IAM, VPC Service Controls, CMEK encryption, and column- and row-level security (policy tags).
Set up cataloguing, lineage and metadata management (Dataplex), plus PII classification and masking.
Define a data quality and observability framework: validation, reconciliation and alerting.

Delivery enablement

Produce the architecture blueprint, HLD/LLD, NFRs (SLA, HA, DR, RPO/RTO), a phased roadmap and cost and effort estimates.
Define environment strategy (Dev/QA/Prod), CI/CD and Terraform (Infrastructure-as-Code) standards.
Hand over to the Tech Lead and act as design authority during implementation.
Present architecture options and trade-offs to client leadership.

Technical Skills Required

Must have

Expert in BigQuery: modelling, partitioning/clustering, performance tuning, cost and slot management
GCP data services: GCS, Dataflow, Datastream, Pub/Sub, Cloud Composer, Cloud Run/Functions
Deep PostgreSQL knowledge: CDC/logical replication, migrating TB-scale datasets
Data warehousing and dimensional modelling (Kimball), SCD, medallion architecture
ELT with Dataform or dbt, plus strong SQL
Integrating REST APIs, spreadsheets and semi-structured and HTML data
Power BI architecture: semantic models, DirectQuery vs Import, gateways, RLS, performance with BigQuery
GCP security and governance: IAM, VPC-SC, KMS, policy tags, Dataplex
Terraform and CI/CD

Good to have

GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Data Engineer certification
Python
Data observability tools
Streaming analytics experience
Telecom domain exposure

Soft skills

Stakeholder management and workshop facilitation
Can present trade-offs to executives
