Job Description
Designs and implements the core data architecture for the Universal Context Layer - including lineage-graph schema, entity-resolution framework, ontology structures, semantic metadata in Knowledge Catalog, and governed access patterns on GCP. Focus on GCP Platform, Catalog Adoption & Access Enforcement (Knowledge Catalog migration, access rule engine, compliance testing).
Roles and Responsibilities
Design the lineage-graph schema connecting data assets, features, APIs, scores, and business rules across the data estate
Lead the migration of existing governance / glossary metadata into Knowledge Catalog (Dataplex Universal Catalog) via the Collibra Edge connector, executed by domain and by region across a large estate (hundreds of pipelines, 50+ domains, multiple regions)
Populate and validate semantic metadata (business glossary, taxonomy, ontology) in Knowledge Catalog - leveraging agent-assisted auto-harvesting, then SME validation, to close a substantial metadata-coverage gap
Implement entity resolution and automated conflict detection across domain boundaries
Build end-to-end data-lineage pipelines from source systems through the context layer
Design and implement the access rule engine (Policy Decision Point pattern) for query-level authorization - jurisdiction rules, entitlements, permissible-use enforcement
Expose sources of truth as MCP services (API-to-MCP enablement via Apigee)
Architect context-layer storage using Spanner Graph, BigQuery, and Dataplex Universal Catalog
Design data-quality enforcement frameworks and define / enforce data-modeling standards across the ontology
Must-Have Skills
8+ years in data architecture / data engineering, with at least 3 years on GCP
Hands-on experience with GCP: BigQuery, Spanner (incl. Spanner Graph), Dataplex / Knowledge Catalog, Cloud Composer, Dataflow
Production experience with knowledge graphs, property graphs, or RDF/OWL-based ontologies
Strong skills in entity resolution, data lineage, and metadata management at enterprise scale
Experience implementing policy-based access controls in data platforms (RBAC, ABAC, or PDP patterns)
Proficiency in Python, SQL, and graph query languages (Cypher, SPARQL, or Gremlin)
Experience with data-governance frameworks and data-quality tooling
Nice-to-Have Skills
Experience with the credit / lending or financial-services domain (data models such as tradelines, scores, attributes)
Familiarity with regulated-data compliance and permissible-use governance patterns
Hands-on catalog-migration experience with Collibra (incl. Collibra Edge) and Dataplex Universal Catalog
GCP Professional Data Engineer certification
