- Collaborate with ML and platform teams to define data schemas, partitioning strategies, and governance rules that ensure privacy, scalability, and reliability
- Integrate unstructured and structured data sources (text, speech, image, documents, metadata) into unified data models ready for AI consumption
- Optimize performance and cost of data pipelines using GCP native services (BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI)
- Contribute to data quality and lineage frameworks, ensuring AI models are trained on validated, auditable, and compliant datasets
- Continuously evaluate and improve our data stack to accelerate AI experimentation and deployment
