Who We're Looking ForMegazone 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.
You have deep expertise in data architecture and data wrangling, and you are a master of Python
, SQL
, and Big Query
. You've architected platforms that other people's businesses run on, and you know the difference between a pipeline that works and a pipeline that survives contact with the real world.
At L5 you lead ambiguous projects from conception to delivery and act as the technical point of contact for a client workstream. You're a “force multiplier” — your presence makes the engineers around you better.
What You'll Do- 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 Big Query 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.
