Senior Data Engineer — GCP

About Megazone Cloud

We're not just another cloud company. We're a scrappy startup, funded by Asia's largest cloud provider, building the

next generation of data solutions from the ground up. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers. If

you're tired of red tape and want to build impactful, cutting-edge systems while having your voice heard, you've

found your home.

Who We're Looking For

Megazone Cloud is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help lead and define our data-driven culture on Google

Cloud. You are a “builder” at heart, a seasoned expert who thrives on solving complex problems. You have a startup

mentality, a thirst for knowledge, and the ability to lead projects and mentor others.

You have deep expertise in data architecture and data wrangling, and you are a master of Python, SQL, and BigQuery.

You've architected platforms that other people's businesses run on, and you know the difference between a pipeline

that works and a pipeline that survives contact with the real world.

At L5 you lead ambiguous projects from conception to delivery and act as the technical point of contact for a client

workstream. You're a “force multiplier” — your presence makes the engineers around you better.

What You'll Do

• Architect, build, and lead: Architect and own scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines on Google

Cloud — not just maintain them.

• Define the data ecosystem: Drive the strategy for a client's data environment, leveraging BigQuery and the GCP

data stack to create powerful, efficient data models.

• Write and review critical code: Develop clean, optimized, and automated solutions using Python and SQL. Set the

standard for code quality and run rigorous, kind code reviews.

• Face the client: Lead technical discussions in your workstream — demos, working sessions, architecture reviews,

and knowledge-transfer workshops — and translate business requirements into technical decisions.

• De-risk: Prototype solutions, evaluate new services, and surface risks before they become escalations.

• Collaborate and multiply: Act as a key “force multiplier” within our cross-functional US and offshore teams, and

mentor junior engineers into engineers you'd want on your next project.

• Be a flexible leader: Embrace a “builder” mentality. In a startup, you'll have the flexibility to solve diverse

challenges, and your voice will be critical in shaping our technical roadmap.
