What you need to have to be considered
· 8+ years of data engineering experience, including 4+ years on Google Cloud Platform.
· Strong expertise in BigQuery, including performance tuning, partitioning, clustering, and cost governance.
· Hands-on experience with GCP services such as Dataflow (Apache Beam), Pub/Sub, Cloud Composer, Dataproc, and Cloud Storage.
· Proficiency in Python and SQL; experience with dbt for transformation workflows is a plus.
