Here, we are building the systems and tools for steering and planning our business at scale, often for top management stakeholders. You will work hands-on with building data pipelines in our data mesh on Google Cloud Platform, as well as be a thought partner on questions like:
- What data products do we design, build, test and maintain to promote data consumption?
- How should we extract, merge, transform and serve data to enable usage at global scale?

- What data products and mindsets should we evolve to empower not only our Data Analysts and Scientists, but all co-workers?
- How can we ensure the reliability, security, and quality of the data, and how do we educate team members in cross-functional teams about the importance of it?
- How can we transform a business problem into requirements for building data infrastructure?
- How do we set up different environments (e.g. dev, test, prod) with appropriate security levels and data privacy requirements?
