Data Orchestration & Analytics Architecture Consultant; Remote

Job Description

An employer in San Francisco, CA is seeking a Data Orchestration & Analytics Architecture Consultant to design and advise on a scalable data flow and reporting architecture within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role is strategy‑and orchestration‑focused, not heavy hands‑on engineering. The consultant will define how data moves across systems, how it is stored and structured, and how it ultimately supports reporting and decision‑making.

The ideal candidate can think holistically about future teams, growth, and maintainability, while translating business needs into a clear, executable technical blueprint.

• Design end‑to‑end data flows from multiple source systems into a centralized data lake
• Define orchestration logic for ingestion, transformation, and reporting refresh cycles
• Ensure workflows are scalable, resilient, and easy for future teams to maintain
• Advise on low‑code or orchestration‑first approaches where appropriate

• Design analytics architecture leveraging Big Query for reporting and insights
• Define best practices for structuring and querying large datasets
• Recommend GCP services and patterns aligned to analytics and reporting use cases
• Ensure architecture supports growth in data volume and complexity

• Standardize data intake and movement using JSON‑based / object‑oriented data structures
• Advise on handling structured and semi‑structured data
• Define schemas, naming conventions, and data organization strategies

• Design how curated data feeds dashboards and reporting tools
• Advise on use of Decision platforms or internal tooling such as Retool or Tool Jet
• Ensure reporting workflows align with existing business logic (already defined)

• Partner with stakeholders to validate requirements and assumptions
• Think proactively about future teams, extensibility, and technical debt
• Produce clear documentation, diagrams, and guidance for engineering handoff
• Support selection and onboarding of a downstream implementation contractor
