Job Title: Data Engineering Manager - (GCP, AI/ML & GenAI)
Experience: 15+ Years
Location: Remote (USA)
Primary Focus: GCP Data Engineering & AWS, AI/ML & GenAI
Note: Preferrably we are looking for hands on experience as a Head of Engineering/ Engineering manager in GCP Platform and if you are currently working as a Senior/Lead Data Engineer then your profile is not suitable for the current requirement.
Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with strong hands-on expertise in AWS and GCP Data Engineering to lead a large-scale AWS-to-GCP data platform migration.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience designing enterprise data platforms on AWS and migrating them to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The role requires a combination of technical architecture, hands-on engineering, migration leadership, team management and stakeholder management.
The candidate should have strong hands-on experience with AWS services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, Step Functions and AWS DMS, along with strong GCP expertise across BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and Cloud Composer.
The Engineering Manager will work closely with US-based stakeholders, architects, engineers, DevOps teams, Data Science and BI teams to define the migration strategy and ensure successful execution.
Key Responsibilities
1. AI/ML, Generative AI & MLOps

• Design and implement AI/ML and Generative AI solutions on GCP using Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, and related GCP-native services.

• Build production-grade machine learning pipelines for data preparation, model training, validation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and lifecycle management.

• Develop Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, including enterprise search, document intelligence, AI assistants, summarization, semantic search, embeddings, vector search, and knowledge-management applications.

• Design scalable ingestion, transformation, chunking, embedding, indexing, and retrieval pipelines for structured and unstructured enterprise data.

• Implement MLOps practices using Vertex AI Pipelines, Model Registry, model endpoints, Terraform, GitHub, Cloud Build, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Establish standards for model versioning, experiment tracking, data and feature validation, automated testing, deployment approvals, rollback, and environment promotion.

• Implement monitoring for model performance, data drift, latency, reliability, inference cost, response quality, retrieval accuracy, and GenAI risks such as hallucination and prompt injection.

• Ensure responsible AI, data privacy, security, governance, access control, auditability, and human-review processes are incorporated into AI/ML and GenAI solutions.

• Partner with Data Science, Analytics, Product, BI, Security, and US-based stakeholders to identify, prioritize, and deliver high-value AI/ML and GenAI use cases.
