* Ensure Data Quality and Reliability: Implement data quality checks, validation rules, and monitoring to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of our data assets.

* Optimize for Performance: Proactively monitor and tune data pipelines and queries for performance and cost-efficiency within the GCP environment.

* Collaborate in an Agile Team: Participate in all Agile ceremonies, collaborating closely with the Data Architect, data scientists, and engineers to deliver on the product roadmap.

Requirements:

* Experience: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in a data engineering or data development role, specifically focused on building and maintaining data pipelines.
