• Observability & Reliability: Design enterprise-wide logging, tracing, and SLO-driven alerting standards to ensure production systems are diagnosable at scale. 

• Data Foundations: Build multi-tenant data engineering frameworks using BigQuery, Cloud Composer/Airflow, and dbt (Medallion architecture). 

• Event-Driven Workloads: Define cloud patterns for high-throughput Pub/Sub architectures and secure data sharing across shared platform services. 

• Governance & Scale: Prevent platform fragmentation by establishing global standards for onboarding, security, and cost optimization. 

• Global Leadership: Direct a distributed team (including India-based GCC) to deliver architectural reviews and operational readiness across time zones. 

What we need 

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field. 

• Minimum 12 years in software/cloud engineering; 6 years in a leadership role. 

• GCP Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with Terraform, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, and BigQuery. 

• Technical Depth: Proven track record in multi-tenant cloud architectures and shared platform operations. 

• Architectural Judgment: Ability to balance security, isolation, cost, and developer velocity. 

Preferred: 

• Experience with Dataplex, AlloyDB, Datastream (CDC), and dbt. 

• Exposure to AI/RAG or agent-based architectures. 

Our environment
