• Implement data quality controls: ensure data completeness, validity and lineage; implement monitoring and alerting for failures or anomalies;
• Collaborate closely with analysts, product and backend engineers to define data contracts and modeling standards;

Requirements

• 3–5 years of hands-on data engineering experience building production-grade pipelines and data models in a cloud environment;
• Comfort working as the first data engineer, managing priorities, and owning outcomes end to end;

• Familiarity with dbt or equivalent transformation frameworks; version control with Git and CI;
• Experience with an orchestration tool (Airflow, Cloud Composer, or similar) and event-driven jobs (e.g., Lambda or Cloud Functions);
• Strong SQL (analytical functions, windowing, CTEs, query optimization) and practical experience with BigQuery or similar columnar warehouses;
• Experience with workflow tools like n8n for quick integrations and automation would be a plus;
• Knowledge of cost-aware warehouse design in BigQuery (partitioning, clustering, materialized views, storage tiers) is a plus.
