Senior Data Engineer
GCP / EDW modernization
We are looking for experienced Senior Data Engineers for our client to develop a Google Cloud-based data warehouse and its loading solutions.
Start
ASAP
Duration
TBC
Location
Helsinki, remote
Allocation
100%
The work focuses on moving the data warehouse load layer into shared cloud-based ingestion and on simplifying and speeding up the load chains. The main goal for the client is to have a leaner, faster and more stable data warehouse. A near real-time sales data model will also be built as the foundation for a conversational BI solution.
Your responsibilities:
- Move the load layer into shared GCP ingestion projects and build reusable ingestion patterns (Datastream, Dataflow), project structure, IAM and Terraform modules.
- Simplify the data warehouse load chains, restructure Composer/Airflow DAGs and optimise BigQuery queries for runtime and cost.
- Build a near real-time sales data model on BigQuery and make it available in Looker.
- Define and track metrics for load duration, throughput, stability and cost.
- Ensure testing and documentation, and hand over patterns and practices to internal teams.
Requirements:
- Hands-on experience with GCP data services: BigQuery, Cloud Composer (Airflow), Dataflow and Datastream.
- Strong experience in data warehouse modelling and data warehouse principles.
- Python and SQL, with experience building production-grade data pipelines and tested, maintainable code.
- Terraform, CI/CD and git, and use of AI coding assistants in your own work.
- Fluent English communication with both business and technical experts, and a proactive, solution-oriented approach.
Nice to have:
- Experience with reusable ingestion patterns, CDC and streaming sources.
- GCP project structure, IAM and infrastructure as code at platform level.
- BigQuery performance and cost optimisation, and Airflow DAG design at scale.
- Incremental and near real-time data modelling.
- Looker / LookML and Finnish language skills.
