Senior Data Engineer

Join SADA as a Sr. Data Engineer!

Your Mission

As a Sr. Data Engineer at SADA you will work collaboratively with architects and other engineers to recommend prototype build and debug data infrastructures on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You will have an opportunity to work on real-world data problems facing our customers today. Engagements vary from being purely consultative to requiring heavy hands-on work and cover a diverse array of domain areas such as data migrations data archival and disaster recovery and big data analytics solutions requiring batch or streaming data pipelines data lakes and data warehouses.

You will be expected to run point on whole projects end-to-end and to mentor less experienced Data Engineers. You will be recognized as an expert within the team and will build a reputation with Google and our customers. You will demonstrate repeated delivery of project architectures and critical components that other engineers demur to you for lack of expertise. You will also participate in early-stage opportunity qualification calls as well as lead client-facing technical discussions for established projects.
