This role is based fully onsite in Columbus, Ohio, and requires a visionary professional capable of architecting complex data pipelines and managing large-scale cloud migrations. As a senior member of the technical team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of data architecture, from initial ingestion to advanced analytics and storage optimization.
Key Responsibilities
- Designing Data Solutions: Architecting robust data pipelines that handle the seamless ingestion, transformation, storage, and analysis of massive datasets.
- Technology Selection: Evaluating and choosing the optimal mix of GCP services, including Bigtable, AlloyDB, BigQuery, Firestore, and Firebase, to meet specific business and performance requirements.
- Real-time Processing: Implementing real-time data processing solutions using Google Cloud Dataflow and Pub/Sub to support low-latency business intelligence.
- Cloud Migration: Leading the migration of existing on-premises or multi-cloud NoSQL and SQL workloads to GCP, with a specific focus on leveraging AlloyDB for high-performance relational needs.
- Data Modeling: Structuring data for optimal storage and query performance, utilizing both relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL) models tailored to application needs.
- Governance and Security: Implementing enterprise-grade security measures, including data access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and ensuring strict compliance with global data regulations.
- Infrastructure as Code: Utilizing Terraform or Google Cloud Deployment Manager to automate the provisioning of cloud resources and maintain environment consistency.
Technical Requirements
The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in the Google Cloud ecosystem. You should have a proven track record of deploying production-level architectures using BigQuery for data warehousing and Dataflow for ETL processes.

You must be comfortable working in a collaborative environment, providing technical mentorship to junior engineers while aligning architectural decisions with executive business goals.
