The Senior Data Engineer is responsible for designing, building and maintaining the core data platform infrastructure that powers analytics and decision-making across the business. Working within the Data Delivery team, this person will build the canonical semantic model in BigQuery, develop robust DBT transformation pipelines, and migrate orchestration to Google Cloud Composer creating the foundation for a scalable, well-governed data platform. This is a hands-on engineering role that also carries technical leadership responsibilities. The Senior Data Engineer will define and enforce standards across modelling, CI/CD and pipeline design, collaborating closely with the Data Architect on target-state decisions.

Introduction to the team

The Data Delivery team builds and evolves the company's data platform, serving Marketing, Product, Finance and Operations as its primary stakeholder groups. A Data Architect has already been hired and will join next month to define the target-state platform and lead technical direction. The Senior Data Engineer is the first engineering hire after the Architect, and will be the primary builder of the platform foundation — working directly with the Architect to execute the roadmap and make it real. The platform is built on BigQuery, DBT and Apache Airflow, with ThoughtSpot as the primary BI and self-serve layer.

What You Will Do

Platform Engineering

• Design and build production-grade DBT models (dimensions, facts, marts) in BigQuery following agreed naming conventions and modelling standards.

• Migrate DBT orchestration to Apache Airflow on Google Cloud Composer using the Cosmos library.

• Implement and maintain ELT ingestion pipelines with monitoring, alerting and SLA tracking.

• Enforce CI/CD practices: automated DBT testing on pull requests, environment promotion (dev → staging → prod) and SQL linting.

• Define and enforce naming conventions, modelling patterns and contribution standards across all data models.

• Document all DBT models with field-level descriptions to populate the data catalog.

• Work closely with the Data Architect to execute platform design decisions.

• Translate stakeholder requirements from Data Analysts into well-scoped model changes.

Key tasks

• Deliver the full canonical semantic model covering all data stakeholders.

• Document all models in the data catalog and support the metrics data dictionary sign-off.

• Rebuild and standardise ingestion pipelines with consistent staging → intermediate → mart patterns.

• Maintain and evolve the semantic model as the business needs change.

• Monitor pipeline health, respond to alerting and maintain on-call runbooks.

• Support infrastructure-as-code adoption as the DataOps function comes online.

What We're Looking For

• Must Have skills: DBT, Apache Airflow, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), BigQuery, CI/CD, Python, SQL

• Nice to Have: Terraform, QA, Airbyte, Data Governance, ThoughtSpot
