GCP Data Platform Engineer

About the role

We are building a hybrid data platform that bridges an on-premises big data cluster with Google Cloud Platform and we need an engineer who can own this integration end to end. This role is central to establishing a repeatable production grade pattern for multitenant data platform architecture starting with GCP as the first cloud tenant on an existing on-prem Cloudera cluster. You will configure the foundational infrastructure service accounts, Iceberg table formats, metadata catalog integration via Apache Gravitino, and role-based access controls.

Key responsibilities

• Configure and provision the on-premises Cloudera cluster environment including service account creation, role definitions, and permission structures for multitenant access
• Design and implement Apache Iceberg table structures optimized for hybrid on-prem cloud workloads
• Integrate the Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC) with Apache Gravitino to establish a unified metadata layer across on-prem and GCP environments
• Establish GCP as a production tenant on the existing on-prem Cloudera cluster, validating the end-to-end architecture pattern
• Define and enforce data access governance including role-based permissions and service account security policies across both environments
• Drive the full lifecycle from environment setup through to production deployment
• Publish comprehensive documentation and architectural blueprints covering cross platform interoperability best practices, vendor recommendations, and access patterns for hybrid data lake implementations

Requirements

• 5 years of relevant experience in data platform engineering
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Experience with on-premises Cloudera big data clusters
• Experience with Apache Iceberg table format
• Experience with Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC)
• Experience with Apache Gravitino for metadata catalog integration
• Experience with service account creation and role-based access control in hybrid environments
