  • To speed up the process of adding new features to the datasets, create Python scripts
  • Drive the operations, architecture, and execution of relevant technical and product strategies for one of the biggest sites in the world
  • To ensure that data is structured appropriately for effective querying and analysis, create and maintain data models and schemas within BigQuery
  • Find and use performance-enhancing techniques, such as indexing, partitioning, and caching, for both BigQuery queries and Airflow processes
  • Implement data quality controls to assure the reliability and accuracy of the data
  • In order to proactively identify and address any pipeline or job issues, set up monitoring and alerting systems
  • Put access controls and security mechanisms in place to safeguard sensitive data in BigQuery
  • Establish permissions and roles for different teams and users
  • Add information to the data pipelines from many sources and platforms, such as APIs, databases, logs, and third-party services
  • Use Airflow and other automation tools to automate ETL processes to boost productivity and decrease manual involvement
  • Maintain data governance and adherence to pertinent data standards and legislation, which includes data anonymization, data retention guidelines, and data privacy protection
  • Collaborate closely with data analysts, scientists, and other key players to comprehend their data requirements and assist with data-related projects
  • Determine and fix any problems with the data pipeline, performance bottlenecks, and other potential technical difficulties
  • To promote knowledge sharing and the onboarding of new team members, keep documentation for data pipelines, ETL procedures, and workflow setups
  • Keep up with the most recent BigQuery and Airflow innovations and continually enhance your data engineering methods

Job Requirements:
