Job Title: Data Engineering Manager – GCP Cloud
Experience: 15+ Years
Location: Remote (USA)
Primary Focus: GCP Data Engineering |AWS → GCP Migration | Data Engineering | Data Architecture | Engineering Leadership
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. GCP Data Platform Architecture
Architect and implement scalable enterprise data platforms on GCP.
Design Data Lake and Lakehouse architectures using GCS and BigQuery.
Define Bronze, Silver and Gold/Atomic data layers.
Design scalable data ingestion, transformation and consumption frameworks.
Establish standards for data modeling, partitioning, clustering and storage.
Design multi-tenant and multi-location data architectures.
Define schema-on-read and schema-on-write strategies.
2. AWS to GCP Migration Leadership
Lead the end-to-end migration of enterprise data platforms from AWS to GCP.
Assess existing AWS architecture, data pipelines, workloads, dependencies and operational processes.
Define the target-state GCP architecture and migration roadmap.
Develop migration strategies for:
Amazon S3 → Google Cloud Storage
Amazon Redshift → BigQuery
AWS Glue → Dataflow / Dataproc / BigQuery
AWS Step Functions → Cloud Composer / Workflows
AWS DMS → GCP-native CDC solutions
Amazon Athena → BigQuery
Identify opportunities to modernize AWS workloads rather than performing a simple lift-and-shift migration.
Define migration phases, technical dependencies, risks and rollback strategies.
Lead architecture reviews and technical design discussions.
3. AWS Data Platform Expertise
Analyze and optimize existing AWS data platforms before migration.
Work with:
Amazon S3
AWS Glue
AWS Glue Data Quality
Amazon Redshift / Redshift Serverless
Amazon Athena
AWS Step Functions
AWS DMS
AWS Lake Formation
Understand existing AWS ETL/ELT pipelines, data models, workloads and dependencies.
Identify equivalent or improved GCP services for each AWS workload.
Prepare technical mapping and migration plans between AWS and GCP services.
4. GCP Streaming & Real-Time Data Engineering
Architect real-time data pipelines using:
Google Pub/Sub
Dataflow / Apache Beam
BigQuery
Cloud Storage
Design high-volume event ingestion, enrichment and transformation pipelines.
Implement event-driven architectures and appropriate delivery guarantees.
Optimize streaming pipelines for latency, throughput and scalability.
Design BigQuery streaming ingestion patterns.
Implement monitoring, logging and alerting for real-time workloads.
5. ETL / ELT & Data Processing
Design and implement scalable batch and real-time ETL/ELT pipelines.
Migrate AWS Glue-based pipelines to appropriate GCP services.
Develop transformation frameworks using:
Python
PySpark
SQL
Dataflow / Apache Beam
BigQuery
dbt
Design CDC pipelines and real-time ingestion patterns.
Build orchestration workflows using Cloud Composer / Airflow.
Optimize data processing jobs and query performance.
6. Data Modeling & BigQuery
Design enterprise data models for analytics and reporting.
Define dimensional, normalized and denormalized data models.
Develop multi-tenant data structures.
Design BigQuery partitioning and clustering strategies.
Optimize BigQuery SQL and query execution.
Design data models supporting both real-time and batch workloads.
Work closely with BI and Analytics teams to create scalable consumption models.
7. Data Governance, Security & Quality
Establish data governance and data quality standards across the GCP platform.
Implement automated data quality checks and…
