DescriptionA platform software Engineer is a versatile developer with expertise in Java or Python and a strong foundation in cloud platforms to build and manage applications at scale. Generally platform engineers fall into two categories: backend engineers who design and implement microservices with robust APIs and fullstack engineers who deliver native UI/UX solutions and ability to develop frameworks and service to enable an enterprise data platform. With a solid understanding of the SDLC and handson experience in Git and CI/CD platform engineers can independently design code test and release features to production efficiently.
Responsibilities- Design and Build Data Pipelines:Architect develop and maintain scalable data pipelines and microservices that support realtime and batch processing on GCP.
- ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices:Design and implement SOA and microservicesbased architectures to ensure modular flexible and maintainable data solutions.
- FullStack Integration:Leverage your fullstack expertise to contribute to the seamless integration of frontend and backend components ensuring robust data access and UIdriven data exploration.
- Data Ingestion and Integration:Lead the ingestion and integration of data from various sources into the data platform ensuring data is standardized and optimized for analytics.
- GCP Data Solutions:Utilize GCP services (BigQuery Dataflow Pub/Sub Cloud Functions etc. to build and manage data platforms that meet business needs.
- Data Governance and Security:Implement and manage data governance access controls and security best practices while leveraging GCPs native row and columnlevel security features.
- Performance Optimization:Continuously monitor and improve the performance scalability and efficiency of data pipelines and storage solutions.
- Collaboration and Best Practices:Work closely with data architects software engineers and crossfunctional teams to define best practices design patterns and frameworks for cloud data engineering.
- Automation and Reliability:Automate data platform processes to enhance reliability reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency.
Qualifications- Education:
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Data Engineering Information Systems or a related field. Masters degree or equivalent experience preferred.
- Experience:
- Minimum 5 years of experience as a Software Engineer
- Technical Skills:Proficient in Java angular or any javascript technology with experience in designing and deploying cloudbased data pipelines and microservices using GCP tools like BigQuery Dataflow and Dataproc.
- Ability to leverage best inclass data platform technologies to deliver platform features and design & orchestrate platform services to deliver data platform capabilities.
- ServiceOriented Architecture and Microservices:Strong understanding of SOA microservices and their application within a cloud data platform context.Develop robust scalable services using Java Spring Boot Python Angular and GCP technologies.
- FullStack Development:Knowledge of frontend and backend technologies enabling collaboration on data access and visualization layers (e.g. React Node.js).
- Design and develop RESTful APIs for seamless integration across platform services.
- Implement robust unit and functional tests to maintain high standards of test coverage and quality.
- Database Management:Experience with relational (e.g. PostgreSQL MySQL) and NoSQL databases as well as columnar databases like BigQuery.
- Data Governance and Security:Understanding of data governance frameworks and implementing RBAC encryption and data masking in cloud environments.
- CI/CD and Automation:Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and automation frameworks.
- Manage code changes with GitHub and troubleshoot and resolve application defects efficiently.
- Ensure adherence to SDLC best practices independently managing feature design coding testing and production releases.
- ProblemSolving:Strong analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex data platform and microservices issues.
- Certifications (Preferred):GCP Data Engineer GCP Professional Cloud
