Responsibilities
Design, implement, and evolve onX’s Iceberg-based lakehouse architecture to balance scalability, cost, and performance
Establish data layer standards (Raw, Curated, Certified) that drive consistency, traceability, and reusability across domains
Define and implement metadata first and semantic layer architectures that make data understandable, trusted, and ready for self-service analytics
Partner with BI and business stakeholders to ensure domain models and certified metrics are clearly defined and aligned to business language
Build and maintain scalable, reliable ingestion and transformation pipelines using GCP tools (Spark, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Dataplex, Cloud Composer)
Develop batch and streaming frameworks with schema enforcement, partitioning, and lineage capture
Use configuration-driven, reusable frameworks to scale ingestion, curation, and publishing across domains
Apply data quality checks and contracts at every layer to ensure consistency, auditability, and trust
Collaborate with Data Science to integrate feature stores, model registries, and model monitoring into the platform
Build and maintain standardized orchestration and observability patterns for both data and ML pipelines, ensuring SLA, latency, and cost visibility
Develop reusable microservices that support model training, deployment, and scoring within a governed, observable MLOps framework
Implement self-healing patterns to minimize MTTR and ensure production reliability
Automate governance via metadata-driven access controls (row/column permissions, sensitivity tagging, lineage tracking)
Define and maintain the semantic layer that bridges the technical data platform and business self-service, enabling analysts and AI systems to explore data confidently
Use GCP Dataplex as the unifying layer for data discovery, lineage, and access management, serving as the first step in evolving our metadata fabric toward a fully connected semantic graph
Extend metadata models so datasets, pipelines, and models become interconnected, explainable, and machine-readable, enabling future intelligence built on relationships, not just tables
Champion the use of metadata and semantics as the control plane for quality, cost, and performance, empowering teams to self-serve trusted data
Partner with BI, Product, and Marketing to align on key business metrics, certified definitions, and self-service models
Work closely with infrastructure and security teams to embed privacy, cost management, and compliance into every layer of the stack
Mentor peers by documenting patterns, reviewing code, and promoting best practices
Participate in KTLO (Keep the Lights On) to ensure stability as modernization continues
