SUMMARY:
The Lab is expanding. Our client seeks a Data Engineer with the mind of a mad scientist and the precision of a cloud alchemist. Your mission? To conjure scalable data pipelines from the ether, manipulate vast datasets with surgical accuracy, and unleash insights that bend business reality.
You’ll be working deep in the digital underworld—where BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub are your potions, and Python is your wand. This isn’t a role for the faint-hearted. It’s for the curious, the bold, the ones who ask “What if?” and then build it.

POSITION INFO:

Your Experiments Will Include:
Designing GCP-powered data architectures that defy gravity and scale
Engineering ETL flows that turn raw chaos into structured brilliance
Collaborating with fellow data sorcerers to fuel predictive models and analytics
Automating workflows that run like clockwork—without human interference
Guarding data integrity like a vault of forbidden knowledge

Your Ingredients:
5+ years of data engineering experience
Mastery of Python, SQL, and BigQuery
Experience with lakehouse concepts and GCP’s darker arts
A mind wired for problem-solving and a taste for innovation
Bonus: exposure to financial services or high-stakes environments
If you’re ready to build the backbone of a data empire—this is your lab
