What you'll do
You'll work end-to-end. That means:
* Design and build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines for BigQuery, using Python and SQL.
* Lead our implementation of DataForm for version-controlled, testable SQL transformations.
* Define and maintain engineering standards: code review, CI/CD, monitoring, and testing.
* Work with analysts, product engineers, and the AI team to turn business needs into robust data models.
* Mentor teammates and help level up how Journey works with data.
You'll work with modern tech, use LLMs and agentic coding tools responsibly to speed up analysis and development.
Projects You’ll Work On
* Migrating legacy Databricks ETL to GCP-native tooling.
* Building cross-cloud ingestion pipelines (e.g., S3 or ADLS → BigQuery) as we consolidate data from partners.
* Setting up a DataForm-based transformation layer from scratch.
* Defining CI/CD and monitoring standards for the data platform.
What you'll bring
* Strong production experience with Google Cloud Platform, especially BigQuery (partitioning, clustering, cost/performance tuning).
* Hands-on experience with DataForm.
* Advanced SQL proficiency—window functions, complex joins, and query optimization.
* Solid Python skills for pipeline engineering and tooling.
* Thorough understanding of ETL/ELT: orchestration, idempotency, data quality, observability.
* Comfort with CI/CD practices and Git-based workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
* 5+ years in data engineering, with at least 2 years focused on GCP.
Nice to Have
* Experience with Databricks or PySpark in production environments.
* Familiarity with AWS or Azure data services.
* Exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
* Knowledge of data streaming technologies (Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Kafka).
* Partnering with analytics or ML teams.
* Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical colleagues.
What you'll get
What You'll Get
* Direct ownership and influence over a critical business platform.
* You will join a team of disruptive thinkers, digital specialists and tech pioneers.
* High quality hardware and development tools.
* Flexible working — in the beginning we expect mostly office collaboration but over time you will get more remote flexibility.
* Regular company off-sites.
Our Values
* In it together: We've got each other's backs. No ego, no silos.
* Driven by success: When our clients win, we all win.
* We're pioneering: The biggest risk is not taking any.
