Job Description
JOIN SADA AS A STAFF DATA ENGINEER!
YOUR MISSION
As a Staff Data Engineer at SADA, you will work collaboratively with architects and other engineers to recommend, prototype, build and debug data infrastructures on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You will have an opportunity to work on real-world data problems facing our customers today. Engagements vary from being purely consultative to requiring heavy hands-on work, and cover a diverse array of domain areas, such as data migrations, data archival and disaster recovery, and big data analytics solutions requiring batch or streaming data pipelines, data lakes and data warehouses.
You will be expected to run point on whole projects, end-to-end, and to mentor less experienced Data Engineers. You will be recognized as an expert within the team and will build a reputation with Google and our customers. You will demonstrate repeated delivery of project architectures and critical components that other engineers demur to you for lack of expertise.
You will be expected to tackle all technical challenges on whole projects and to mentor less experienced Data Engineers. You should be able to work independently, but should be a major participant in team reviews. You should be recognized as having technical mastery within the practice with an established reputation with Google and our customers. You should have demonstrable experience with public facing activities such as blogs, presentations, webinars, and OSS contributions. You will ensure the best architecture and engineering approach is applied. You will be expected to repeatedly deliver complex projects, and will be the owner of the complete customer outcome, including complex technical components of the engagement. You will actively participate in early-stage opportunity qualification calls, as well as lead client-facing technical discussions for established projects.

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a fast growing practice with vision and passion. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, how well you collaborate with your peers, and the consultative polish you bring to customer interactions.
As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a customized development plan together that leads you through the engineering or management growth tracks.
