Senior Data Engineer

About this role: Senior Data Engineer

The Data Analytics and Reporting Technology team is responsible for a cross-cutting set of capabilities within the Global Operations at Wells Fargo. The AI/ML Data Architecture Engineering and Enablement team is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to help create effective solutions for our data scientists ranging from experimentation to this role you will focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services and frameworks contributing to the design build and operation of reusable data capabilities that power machine learning and AI at enterprise scale. The ideal candidate is passionate about standardized frameworks selfservice by subject matter experts and governancebydesign enabling secure reliable and compliant data solutions that facilitate the generation of new intelligence and operating efficiencies.

In this role you will:

• Develop scalable secure data pipelines from on-premise systems of record to Google Cloud Platform services (BigQuery BigTable Dataflow Dataproc Pub/Sub Cloud Storage Composer).
• Leverage and extend capability roadmaps for reusable frameworks and tooling (ingestion transformation quality orchestration) actively being developed by the larger organization.
• Enable selfservice data consumption and governance by standardizing patterns templates and sandbox capabilities rather than oneoff pipelines.
• Support use cases for training validation and monitoring leveraging BigQuery Dataflow/Apache Beam Dataproc/Spark Pub/Sub and Cloud Storage.
• Create standardized feature transformation pipelines and a common feature store with strong lineage dictionary and high availability for models.
• Ensure appropriate cost performance and reliability of GCP data workloads (partitioning clustering storage classes autoscaling strategies).
• Develop transformation libraries in Python/SQL/Beam (e.g. common SCD patterns data quality checks masking/tokenization routines).
• Provide orchestration capabilities via Cloud Composer or Cloud Workflows with reusable DAGs/templates and CI/CD integration.
• Implement robust data modeling (dimensional data vault or canonical models) and semantic layer implementations with BigQuery or similar tools.
• Enforce data quality lineage and observability using standardized metrics validation rules and monitoring dashboards.
• Partner with data scientists and domain solution teams to migrate existing models onto GCP capabilities.
• Document patterns runbooks and best practices and provide enablement through workshops and code examples.

• 4 years with GCP or equivalent open source orchestration tools (Composer/Airflow/Dataflow/Beam) and CI/CD (Git Liquibase ) for data workloads
• 2 years of hands-on experience building and implementing predictive AI models using machine learning algorithms (e.g. regression classification forecasting).

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with logging/monitoring stacks (Cloud Logging Cloud Monitoring error reporting metrics dashboards
• Experience with automated testing data quality checks monitoring for pipelines and model governance such as drift bias and anomaly detection
• Experience with model development and operations technologies such as Vertex Bedrock Sagemaker Jupyter Hugging Face TensorFlow XGBoost Anaconda MLFlow PyTorch Scikit-learn
• Experience with modelling techniques such as clustering classification logistic regression natural language processing neural networks ensembling computer vision time-series analysis
• Experience with data optimization and availability in generative AI solutions such as RAGs knowledge graphs MCPs vectors prompt validation and tuning environments
