Position SummaryThis role leads the architecture and delivery of advanced data and AI solutions, specializing in Google Cloud Platform data pipelines, MCP server setup, and agentic AI. The engineer is responsible for technical vision, hands-on implementation, and embedding AI into engineering best practices. Key Responsibilities:
- Google Cloud Platform Data Pipeline Engineering:
Architect, design, and implement robust, scalable data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform using services such as BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and Vertex AI. Ensure data pipelines are optimized for performance, reliability, and security.
- MCP Server Setup & Integration:
Lead the setup and configuration of MCP (Model Context Protocol or Manage, Control, and Plan) servers to standardize how AI systems access tools, data, and context. Ensure MCP servers provide a universal protocol for AI agents, enabling modularity and ease of integration with new models and tools. Implement best practices for database interaction, image management, access controls, and automation integration with orchestration frameworks.
Integrate agentic AI and automation frameworks into data pipelines and engineering workflows. Enable autonomous, intelligent data processing and analytics by leveraging LLMs and agentic orchestration.
- Engineering Best Practices for Incorporating AI:
AI-Driven Code Quality & Automation: Leverage AI-powered tools for code generation, code review, and automated testing to improve code quality and accelerate development cycles. Integrate AI agents into CI/CD pipelines for intelligent build, test, and deployment orchestration. Use MCP servers to standardize access to codebases, data, and documentation, enabling modular and reusable AI integrations.
Data Governance & Security: Implement robust data governance policies, including data lineage, access controls, and audit trails for all AI-driven data pipelines. Ensure all AI models and data flows comply with enterprise security standards and privacy regulations. Use MCP server features for secure, auditable, and policy-driven access to data and tools.
Responsible & Ethical AI: Apply organizational AI governance frameworks to ensure fairness, transparency, and explainability in all AI-powered solutions. Conduct regular fairness assessments and bias detection for AI models, leveraging available toolkits and governance processes. Document AI decision logic and maintain traceability for all automated actions.
Operational Excellence & Monitoring: Implement telemetry and monitoring for all AI and data pipeline components, including model performance, data freshness, and system health. Use automated alerting and self-healing mechanisms where possible, leveraging AI for anomaly detection and root cause analysis. Continuously evaluate and optimize AI models and pipelines for efficiency and reliability. Collaboration &
Knowledge Sharing: Actively participate in the AI engineering community of practice to share best practices, lessons learned, and reusable assets. Mentor team members on AI integration patterns, responsible AI use, and advanced Google Cloud Platform/MCP techniques.
