GCP Data Platform Architect

Data Platform Engineer / Architect - Remote Contract

We're working with a client who is building their data platform from scratch and looking for an experienced Data Platform Engineer or Architect to help shape and deliver it.

This is a genuine greenfield opportunity. There's no existing data infrastructure to work around - the team has made a clear technology decision and needs someone to run with it. The architecture is built around a data products approach, with Snowflake running on GCP as the core platform and dbt handling internal data transformation.



What you'll be doing

You'll be the lead voice on platform design and implementation - standing up the Snowflake environment on GCP, defining the architecture for how data products are structured and served, and building the foundations that the wider data engineering work will sit on top of.



What we're looking for

* Strong Snowflake expertise - architecture, configuration, access control, performance
* Comfortable working within GCP (networking, IAM, GCS for staging)
* Experience designing data products or data mesh-style architectures
* Familiarity with dbt as part of the transformation layer
* Clear communicator - this is an English-speaking environment



The setup

Fully remote. Expected start mid-August to early September.
