What you’ll be doing...
- Architecting and optimizing large-scale security data repositories within Google BigQuery, ensuring efficient partitioning, clustering, and storage tiering to support multi-terabyte analytical queries.
- Designing and implementing robust, low-latency data pipelines using GCP Dataflow services (Apache Beam) to ingest, transform, and aggregate batch and streaming data from disparate security sources into centralized data platforms.
- Designing and maintaining optimized data layers using the GCP Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL engine) to support high-throughput analytics and data consumers.
- Leading analytics engineers technically to architect and deploy production-grade automation solutions. Utilize GCP Cloud Run and Cloud Functions to build scalable, event-driven microservices and high-performance APIs that expose enterprise security data.
- Identifying opportunities to integrate AI/ML automation (e.g., Vertex AI, LLMs) to streamline manual data extraction, automate metadata tagging, and optimize pipeline orchestration.
- Driving the transition from standard visualization to a scalable data product model, establishing a comprehensive Looker dashboard catalog to streamline enterprise risk forecasting.
- Developing and maintaining a standardized semantic layer using LookML (Looker Modeling Language) to ensure data consistency, security access controls, and reusability across all security domains.
- Building comprehensive business cases and data models surrounding Enterprise Security Data Analysis and Reporting to drive long-term security investments.
What we’re looking for...
- Proven experience architecting and developing solutions within Google Cloud Platform, specifically leveraging containerized deployments via Cloud Run and serverless computing via Cloud Functions.
- Deep technical mastery of Google BigQuery architecture, including nested/repeated fields, materialized views, and BigQuery Omni or ML capabilities.
- Hands-on experience building streaming and batch data processing pipelines using GCP Dataflow services.
- Advanced proficiency in writing complex, optimized SQL queries, with specific hands-on administration and optimization experience using GCP Cloud SQL utilizing the PostgreSQL engine.
- Strong hands-on coding expertise in Python to perform advanced data analysis, data mining, DevSecOps automation, and pipeline orchestration.
- Familiarity with deploying AI-driven automation workflows to improve data pipeline resilience.
- Experience utilizing visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Thoughtspot) to build data-driven stories tailored for business users at all levels.
- Experience embedding Looker visualizations directly into serverless applications or enterprise API frameworks is highly desirable.
You’ll need to have..
- Bachelor degree in Computer Science/Information Systems or an equivalent combination of education and work experience.

- Ability to write SQL against a relational database in order to analyze and test data.
- Experience with modern DataOps/DevSecOps orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, CI/CD pipelines) applied directly to data engineering.
- Working knowledge on Threat, Risk and Vulnerability Management is an added advantage.
- Knowledge of securing cloud data delivery layers (OAuth, OIDC, API Gateways) and enforcing data privacy/governance standards.
- Cloud Certifications
Even better if you have one or more of the following:
- Experience in technology leadership, architecture, and Agile methodologies.
- Communication and stakeholder management skills.
