About The Position

We are building a hybrid data platform that bridges an on-premises big data cluster with Google Cloud Platform and we need an engineer who can own this integration end to end. This role is central to establishing a repeatable production grade pattern for multitenant data platform architecture starting with GCP as the first cloud tenant on an existing on-prem Cloudera cluster.

Responsibilities

• Configure and provision the on-premises Cloudera cluster environment including service account creation, role definitions, and permission structures for multitenant access.
• Design and implement Apache Iceberg table structures optimized for hybrid on-prem cloud workloads.
• Integrate the Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC) with Apache Gravitino to establish a unified metadata layer across on-prem and GCP environments.
• Establish GCP as a production tenant on the existing on-prem Cloudera cluster validating the end-to-end architecture pattern.
• Define and enforce data access governance including role-based permissions and service account security policies across both environments.
• Drive the full lifecycle from environment setup through to production deployment.
• Publish comprehensive documentation and architectural blueprints covering cross-platform interoperability, best practices, vendor recommendations, and access patterns for hybrid data lake implementations.
