📋 Description

• Contribute to and execute a roadmap that positions TheKey's data platform as AI-ready — well-structured, richly documented, and accessible for machine learning and generative AI use cases. • Champion the adoption of AI and automation tools within the data engineering team to increase delivery velocity and reduce manual effort. • Partner with business and technology stakeholders to align platform capabilities with analytics and AI initiatives. • Lead the design and governance of a metadata-rich data lake in Google BigQuery, ensuring datasets are tagged, documented, and contextualized so AI models and analytics tools can effectively interpret and utilize the data. • Establish and enforce standards for data cataloging, semantic tagging, lineage tracking, and business glossary definitions to maximize AI discoverability and usability. • Drive adoption of tools such as Google Dataplex or equivalent for automated metadata management and data quality enforcement. • Build and maintain scalable data pipelines, leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Gemini Code Assist, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate development and reduce errors. • Implement AI-driven testing and observability frameworks to automatically validate pipeline outputs, detect anomalies, and enforce data quality — reducing reliance on manual QA. • Automate repetitive data engineering workstreams — including ingestion, transformation, and delivery — using orchestration tools and AI-assisted scripting. • Define and enforce data governance frameworks that support both regulatory compliance and AI readiness — including data quality standards, access controls, retention policies, and privacy requirements. • Ensure all data assets are properly classified, documented, and governed so they can be safely and effectively used in AI and analytics applications. • Proactively identify and reduce technical debt in legacy data processes and structures. • Own master data management practices to ensure accuracy, consistency, and a single source of truth for critical business entities. • Directly manage a team of data engineers — providing mentorship, clear expectations, and career development support. • Foster a culture of continuous learning, experimentation with AI tools, and engineering excellence. Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and workload prioritization to keep the team focused and productive.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related field. • 5+ years of experience in data engineering, with at least 1–2 years in a team lead or people management capacity. • Hands-on expertise with Google BigQuery and the broader Google Cloud data ecosystem (Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Dataplex, Looker, etc.). • Demonstrated experience building and managing cloud-native data pipelines and ELT/ETL processes at scale. • Working knowledge of AI/ML workflows and what it takes to prepare data for model training, RAG pipelines, or AI-powered analytics. • Experience implementing data catalogs, metadata frameworks, and data lineage tooling. • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and a track record of integrating them into engineering workflows. • Strong data governance background including security, compliance, and quality frameworks. • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
