Design, build, and optimize distributed query engines such as Trino, Spark, or Snowflake to support complex analytical workloads.
Implement metadata management in open table formats like Iceberg and data discovery frameworks for governance and observability using Iceberg compatible catalogs.
Develop and orchestrate robust ETL/ELT pipelines using Apache Airflow, Spark, and GCP-native tools (e.g., Dataflow, Composer).
Collaborate across departments, partnering with data scientists, backend engineers, and product managers to design and implement
What we’re looking for:
5+ years of experience in data or software engineering, with a focus on distributed data systems and cloud-native architectures.
Proven experience building and scaling data platforms on GCP, including storage, compute, orchestration, and monitoring.
Strong command of one or more query engines such as Trino, Presto, Spark, or Snowflake.
Experience with modern table formats like Apache Hudi, Iceberg, or Delta Lake.
Exceptional programming skills in Python, as well as adeptness in SQL or SparkSQL.
Hands-on experience orchestrating workflows with Airflow and building streaming/batch pipelines using GCP-native services.

The Data Platform team is the funnel between all of TRM's data world and product world. We care about all layers of stack including petabyte of data stores, pipelines, and processes.
We have quite a big scope as a the team with new and exciting projects every quarter. As a result, we collaborate across the board with most teams at TRM.
We believe in async communication and are also not afraid to jump on a quick huddle if that helps to move things faster. We are both scrappy when the situation demands and also process-oriented when we need to achieve our OKRs.

Identify the must have and nice to haves that are need to deploy our stack to be fully operation. Focus on must haves first to get us operational and then use future milestones to harden for customer readiness. We think in terms of weeks and not months.
