• Develop backend services & APIs: Build RESTful APIs and microservices to expose vehicle data securely and efficiently to internal applications and downstream enterprise systems.
• Develop internal data tools: Build and maintain lightweight, intuitive frontend interfaces (e.g., React) and dashboards to help stakeholders visualize and interact with complex telemetry data.
• Leverage GCP Data Infrastructure: Work extensively with GCP data services such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage (GCS), Dataflow, or Cloud Composer (Airflow), deploying containerized workloads to Cloud Run or GKE.
• Ensure data quality & reliability (Deliver the Promise): Implement data validation, automated testing, and monitoring (using Cloud Logging/Monitoring) to ensure high availability and accuracy of our data products.
