Engineering Manager – AWS to GCP Data Migration, AI/ML & GenAI
Experience: 15+ Years
Primary Focus: AWS to GCP Migration | GCP Data Engineering | Data Architecture | AI/ML | Generative AI | MLOps | Engineering Leadership
Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with strong hands-on expertise in AWS and GCP Data Engineering to lead a large-scale AWS-to-GCP data platform migration.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience designing enterprise data platforms on AWS and migrating them to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The role requires a combination of technical architecture, hands-on engineering, migration leadership, team management, stakeholder management, and delivery ownership.
In addition to AWS-to-GCP data migration, this role will lead the design and delivery of AI/ML, Generative AI, and MLOps capabilities on GCP. The candidate will work with Data Science, Product, Business, Analytics, BI, and Engineering teams to build secure, scalable, governed, and production-ready data and AI solutions using GCP-native services.
All target-state data engineering, AI/ML, Generative AI, and MLOps architecture and implementation experience must be on GCP.
Key Responsibilities1. AWS to GCP Migration Leadership
- Lead the end-to-end migration of enterprise data platforms from AWS to GCP.
- Assess existing AWS architecture, data pipelines, workloads, dependencies, data models, and operational processes.

- Develop migration strategies for:
- Amazon S3 to Google Cloud Storage
- Amazon Redshift to BigQuery
- AWS Glue to Dataflow, Dataproc, or BigQuery
- AWS Step Functions to Cloud Composer or Workflows
- AWS DMS to GCP-native CDC solutions
- Amazon Athena to BigQuery
- Identify opportunities to modernize AWS workloads rather than performing a simple lift-and-shift migration.

2. GCP Data Platform Architecture
- Architect and implement scalable enterprise data platforms on GCP.
- Design Data Lake and Lakehouse architectures using Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery.
- Define Bronze, Silver, and Gold/Atomic data layers.
- Design scalable batch, real-time, and event-driven ingestion, transformation, and data-consumption frameworks.
- Establish standards for data modeling, partitioning, clustering, storage, metadata, lineage, and data access.

- Design and implement scalable batch and real-time ETL/ELT pipelines on GCP.
- Migrate AWS Glue-based pipelines to appropriate GCP-native services.
- Develop transformation frameworks using Python, PySpark, SQL, Dataflow, Apache Beam, BigQuery, and dbt.
- Design CDC pipelines and real-time ingestion patterns.
- Build orchestration workflows using Cloud Composer and Apache Airflow.
- Optimize data-processing jobs, Spark workloads, pipeline execution, and query performance.

6. Data Modeling & BigQuery
- Design enterprise data models for analytics, reporting, operational intelligence, and AI/ML workloads.
- Define dimensional, normalized, denormalized, and multi-tenant data models.
- Design BigQuery partitioning, clustering, storage, and query-optimization strategies.
- Optimize BigQuery SQL and query execution for performance and cost.
- Design data models that support real-time and batch workloads.
- Work closely with BI and Analytics teams to build scalable self-service consumption models.
7. AI/ML, Generative AI & MLOps
- Design and implement AI/ML and Generative AI solutions on GCP using Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, and related GCP-native services.
- Build production-grade machine learning pipelines for data preparation, model training, validation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and lifecycle management.
- Develop Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, including enterprise search, document intelligence, AI assistants, summarization, semantic search, embeddings, vector search, and knowledge-management applications.
- Design scalable ingestion, transformation, chunking, embedding, indexing, and retrieval pipelines for structured and unstructured enterprise data.
- Implement MLOps practices using Vertex AI Pipelines, Model Registry, model endpoints, Terraform, GitHub, Cloud Build, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Establish standards for model versioning, experiment tracking, data and feature validation, automated testing, deployment approvals, rollback, and environment promotion.
- Implement monitoring for model performance, data drift, latency, reliability, inference cost, response quality, retrieval accuracy, and GenAI risks such as hallucination and prompt injection.
- Ensure responsible AI, data privacy, security, governance, access control, auditability, and human-review processes are incorporated into AI/ML and GenAI solutions.
- Partner with Data Science, Analytics, Product, BI, Security, and US-based stakeholders to identify, prioritize, and deliver high-value AI/ML and GenAI use cases.
