• Develop and maintain ETL and data pipeline automation for structured and unstructured data workflows.
• Build automation using Python and shell scripting to support workflow execution, data movement, platform integrations, monitoring, and operational tasks.
• Support AI/ML and agent-based workloads including model integration, agent workflows, and AI-enabled automation where applicable.
• Containerize applications, scripts, services, and workflow components using Docker.
• Deploy containerized workloads to cloud-native platforms such as Cloud Run, or other managed GCP runtimes.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for application deployment, infrastructure changes, workflow automation, and data pipeline releases.
• Develop and maintain Terraform modules for repeatable GCP infrastructure deployments.
• Support and integrate workflow or lab orchestration platforms such as Mendix, NAN, Nextflow, or similar tools.
• Collaborate with application teams, data engineers, lab systems teams, and business stakeholders to translate workflow requirements into scalable cloud solutions.
• Contribute to best practices around cloud security, logging, monitoring, reliability, automation, and cost optimization.

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience with GCP services such as BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, IAM, or networking.
• Strong programming and automation experience with Python.
• Experience supporting ETL pipelines, data movement workflows, or data processing automation.
• Experience with Docker containerization.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool.
• Experience with workflow automation, lab orchestration, low-code platforms, or process automation tools such as Mendix, NAN, Nextflow, or similar.
• Ability to troubleshoot cloud workloads across permissions, networking, containers, logs, data pipelines, and service integrations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Vertex AI / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, including agents, model integration, or AI-enabled automation.
• Experience with BigQuery performance tuning and cost optimization.
• Experience with Dataflow, Dataproc, or Cloud Composer.
• Experience supporting lab systems, research platforms, scientific data workflows, or regulated data environments.
• Experience with Kubernetes, or serverless container platforms.
• Experience with cloud cost controls, logging, monitoring, and operational dashboards.

Benefits

• A competitive salary and bonus package based on experience.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, including Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
