Develop, document, and maintain RESTful/GraphQL APIs to expose data and services to internal applications, dashboards, and third-party consumers.

Implement and maintain a data catalog / knowledge catalog (e.g., Google Data Catalog, Collibra, Alation, Atlan) to improve data discoverability, lineage tracking, and metadata management.
Optimize BigQuery performance through partitioning, clustering, query tuning, and cost-management best practices.
Build data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting to ensure pipeline reliability and data trustworthiness.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (analytics, product, engineering) to gather requirements and translate them into scalable data models and API contracts.
Enforce data governance, security, and access control standards (PII handling, role-based access, encryption).
Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code (Python/SQL, and backend frameworks for APIs).
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and CI/CD pipeline development for data and application deployments.

You'll have...

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
5+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, or a full-stack data role.
3+ years in roles demonstrating Strong programming skills in Python, Kotlin, and Java
3 years of Strong hands-on experience with Google BigQuery (data modeling, query optimization, cost management, scheduled queries).
3+ years of Proven experience designing and building APIs (REST and/or GraphQL) using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, Node.js/Express, or similar.
3 years of practical experience building and maintaining a semantic layer (e.g., dbt, LookML/Looker, Cube.js, AtScale) to standardize business metrics.
2+ years of experience in roles requiring a Strong understanding of testing, monitoring, reliability, and maintainable software design
2+ years comfortable working years of experience with SQL and structured data

Even better, you may have...

Experience working with a data catalog / metadata management tool (e.g., Google Data Catalog, Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Amundsen) including lineage, tagging, and governance workflows.
Strong SQL skills and experience with Python for data pipeline development and automation.
Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Composer/Airflow).
Solid understanding of data modeling concepts (dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas, normalization).
Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices for data and application deployments.
Strong understanding of data governance, security, and privacy best practices.
Experience with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow / Cloud Composer.

Experience with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
Exposure to streaming data platforms (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Dataflow).
Experience in the automotive, manufacturing, or connected vehicle data domain (a plus, given Ford's business context).
Knowledge of BI/visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI).
