Data Engineer

About

Noise Digital is looking for a Data Engineer to join our engineering team. This role focuses on the technical execution of data pipelines within our Google Cloud Platform environment. You will work alongside our lead engineers to develop orchestration workflows in Cloud Composer (Apache Airflow) and manage data models within BigQuery.

This is a hands-on technical role centered on building reliable data infrastructure, designing schemas, and developing custom integration logic.

Core Responsibilities

• Pipeline Orchestration: Develop, test, and maintain Airflow DAGs in Cloud Composer. This includes managing task dependencies, implementing custom operators, and monitoring production workflows.
• Data Modeling & Architecture: Implement schema designs and table structures in BigQuery. You will be responsible for creating ERDs, optimizing query performance through partitioning/clustering, and managing Dataform scripts for SQL transformations.
• Python Development: Write modular Python for custom API integrations, data processing tasks, and internal engineering tools.
• Team Collaboration: Work within the existing engineering framework to support project-specific data requirements, following established Git-based CI/CD workflows and documentation standards.
• Performance Optimization: Assist in the audit and optimization of BigQuery resources to manage processing costs and improve execution speeds.

Technical Requirements

• GCP Experience: Professional experience working within the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem.
• Cloud Composer / Apache Airflow: Proven experience building and troubleshooting complex orchestration workflows.
• Python: Proficiency in Python for data engineering and systems integration.
• SQL & BigQuery: Expert-level SQL skills and experience with structured data modeling, including schema design and ERDs.
• Version Control: Experience using Git/GitHub for collaborative development and CI/CD.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certification: GCP Professional Data Engineer (PDE).
• Domain Experience: Experience modelling data for marketing and/or tourism performance/attribution.
• AI Exposure: Exposure building LLM agents or data retrieval layers for LLM agents (RAG, Embeddings, MCP).
• Tooling: Hands-on experience with Dataform or dbt for version-controlled SQL modeling.

Working Conditions:

• This position operates under a hybrid work model. Employees are currently required to work from the office once per week to foster team collaboration and culture. While the role primarily allows for work-from-home arrangements, the required in-office frequency is subject to change based on evolving company and departmental needs.
