Position :- Google Cloud Platform Data Engineer (Health Care Background Must)
Location: Across USA any Location
Summary: Strong experience architecting enterprise data platforms on Google Cloud (Google Cloud Platform). The architect will work as a strategic technical partner to design and build a Google Cloud Platform BigQuery-based Data Lake & Data Warehouse ecosystem.
The role requires deep hands-on expertise in data ingestion, transformation, modeling, enrichment, and governance, combined with a strong understanding of clinical healthcare data standards, interoperability, and cloud architecture best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Data Lake & Data Platform Architecture (Google Cloud Platform)
• Architect and design an enterprise-grade Google Cloud Platform-based data lakehouse leveraging BigQuery, GCS, Dataproc, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Composer, and BigQuery Omni.
• Define data ingestion, hydration, curation, processing and enrichment strategies for large-scale structured, semi-structured, and unstructured datasets.
• Create data domain models, canonical models, and consumption-ready datasets for analytics, AI/ML, and operational data products.
• Design federated data layers and self-service data products for downstream consumers.
2. Data Ingestion & Pipelines
• Architect batch, near-real-time, and streaming ingestion pipelines using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and Dataproc.
• Set up data ingestion for clinical (EHR/EMR, LIS, RIS/PACS) datasets including HL7, FHIR, CCD, DICOM formats.
• Build ingestion pipelines for non-clinical systems (ERP, HR, payroll, supply chain, finance).
• Architect ingestion from medical devices, IoT, remote patient monitoring, and wearables leveraging IoMT patterns.
• Manage on-prem → cloud migration pipelines, hybrid cloud data movement, VPN/Interconnect connectivity, and data transfer strategies.
3. Data Transformation, Hydration & Enrichment
• Build transformation frameworks using BigQuery SQL, Dataflow, Dataproc, or dbt.
• Define curation patterns including bronze/silver/gold layers, canonical healthcare entities, and data marts.
• Implement data enrichment using external social determinants, device signals, clinical event logs, or operational datasets.
• Enable metadata-driven pipelines for scalable transformations.
4. Data Governance & Quality
• Establish and operationalize a data governance framework encompassing data stewardship, ownership, classification, and lifecycle policies.
• Implement data lineage, data cataloging, and metadata management using tools such as Dataplex, Data Catalog, Collibra, or Informatica.
• Set up data quality frameworks for validation, profiling, anomaly detection, and SLA monitoring.
• Ensure HIPAA compliance, PHI protection, IAM/RBAC, VPC SC, DLP, encryption, retention, and auditing.
5. Cloud Infrastructure & Networking
• Work with cloud infrastructure teams to architect VPC networks, subnetting, ingress/egress, firewall policies, VPN/IPSec, Interconnect, and hybrid connectivity.
• Define storage layers, partitioning/clustering design, cost optimization, performance tuning, and capacity planning for BigQuery.
• Understand containerized processing (Cloud Run, GKE) for data services.
6. Stakeholder Collaboration
• Work closely with clinical, operational, research, and IT stakeholders to define data use cases, schema, and consumption models.
• Partner with enterprise architects, security teams, and platform engineering teams on cross-functional initiatives.
• Guide data engineers and provide architectural oversight on pipeline implementation.
7. Hands-on Leadership
• Be actively hands-on in building pipelines, writing transformations, building POCs, and validating architectural patterns.
• Mentor data engineers on best practices, coding standards, and cloud-native development.
