Senior Data Engineer — GCP

Megazone Cloud is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help lead and define our data-driven culture on Google Cloud. You are a “builder” at heart, a seasoned expert who thrives on solving complex problems. You have a startup mentality, a thirst for knowledge, and the ability to lead projects and mentor others.

Responsibilities

Architect, build, and lead: Architect and own scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines on Google Cloud — not just maintain them; Define the data ecosystem: Drive the strategy for a client's data environment, leveraging BigQuery and the GCP data stack to create powerful, efficient data models; Write and review critical code: Develop clean, optimized, and automated solutions using Python and SQL. Set the standard for code quality and run rigorous, kind code reviews; Face the client: Lead technical discussions in your workstream — demos, working sessions, architecture reviews, and knowledge-transfer workshops — and translate business requirements into technical decisions; De-risk: Prototype solutions, evaluate new services, and surface risks before they become escalations; Collaborate and multiply: Act as a key “force multiplier” within our cross-functional US and offshore teams, and mentor junior engineers into engineers you'd want on your next project; Be a flexible leader: Embrace a “builder” mentality. In a startup, you'll have the flexibility to solve diverse challenges, and your voice will be critical in shaping our technical roadmap

Requirements

5–8+ years of professional data engineering experience; Deep, expert-level proficiency with Python; Deep, expert-level proficiency with SQL; Hands-on, expert-level experience with BigQuery and the wider Google Cloud data stack; Hands-on experience with a SQL transformation framework — Dataform or dbt; Deep expertise in designing and architecting scalable data platforms, including batch and streaming ingestion patterns; Strong infrastructure-as-code practice — Terraform (or equivalent) and CI/CD; Proven ability to lead complex, ambiguous projects from conception to delivery; Experience mentoring other engineers and helping to level up the team; Exceptional communication skills, the flexibility to think fast, and the credibility to present a decision to technical and non-technical audiences alike; A “builder” mindset, a startup mentality, and a genuine thirst for knowledge

Nice to have

Experience with GenAI, AI/ML frameworks, and MLOps — including data modeling and metadata that gets a client ready for agentic workloads; Looker / LookML, Power BI, or other BI tooling on top of a cloud warehouse; Change-data-capture and real-time streaming at production scale; Data governance and catalog work — glossary, policy tags, lineage, data contracts; Cross-platform depth — AWS, Databricks, or Snowflake. We meet clients where they are; Certifications in GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, or AWS
