Architect, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines and microservices that support real‑time and batch processing on GCP. Design and implement Service‑Oriented Architecture (SOA) and microservices‑based architectures for modular, flexible, and maintainable data solutions. Leverage full‑stack expertise to integrate front‑end and back‑end components, ensuring robust data access and UI‑driven data exploration. Lead ingestion and integration of data from various sources into the data platform, standardizing and optimizing it for analytics. Utilize GCP services (BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, etc.) to build and manage data platforms that meet business needs. Implement data governance, access controls, and security best practices, using GCP’s native row‑ and column‑level security features. Continuously monitor and improve performance, scalability, and efficiency of data pipelines and storage solutions. Collaborate with data architects, software engineers, and cross‑functional teams to define best practices, design patterns, and frameworks for cloud data engineering. Automate data platform processes to enhance reliability, reduce manual intervention, and improve operational efficiency.
