Position Summary
We are seeking a Lead Data Engineer with 5+ years of big data and cloud data architecture expertise to design and modernize data platforms for large-scale transformation programs. This role combines deep technical hands-on expertise with architectural leadership, requiring mastery of big data frameworks (Spark, Flink, Kafka), cloud data platforms (BigQuery, Dataplex, Dataproc, Dataflow), and modern data stack technologies (Trino, Cloud Composer/Airflow, BigLake). The successful candidate will own data architecture design for both lift-and-shift migrations and cloud-native modernization, establish data governance frameworks, and provide technical leadership to engineering teams. You will guide data platform migrations, ensure data quality and validation, and mentor engineers on best practices.
