Data Integration Engineer (Short Term Contract)

Zencore is a fast-growing company founded by former Google Cloud leaders, architects, and engineers. We are seeking candidates with significant experience in Google Cloud to join our team. Our engagements aim to eliminate obstacles, reduce risk, and accelerate timelines for customers transitioning to Google and seeking assistance with data and application modernization. We embed within customer teams to provide strategic guidance, facilitate technology decisions, and execute projects in a collaborative, co-development style.

As a member of our Engineering team, you will be working with fast-paced innovative companies, leveraging Cloud as the key driver of their transformation. Our clients will look to you as their trusted advisor, someone they can rely on and who will be there to help them along their Google Cloud journey. You will be expected to work a large spectrum of technology and tools, including public cloud platforms, AI and LLMs, Kubernetes, data processing systems, databases, and more.

The ideal profile is someone who has built and maintained data pipelines, worked with Spark / large-scale SQL transformations, and understands data migrations — rather than a profile focused mainly on microservices, full-stack development, or CMS platforms.

Note: This will be a short-term contract. No expectation set that this will transition into a full time role

What you will do...:
• Design and implement workflow predicates — modular business logic units for ETL pipelines
• Support the migration from Snowflake SQL ETLs to Apache Spark SQL ETLs
• Work with GCP infrastructure (Dataproc / Spark, Cloud Storage)
• Manage and optimize the PostgreSQL database used by supporting microservices

What we need...:
• 5+ years of experience in a software or data engineering capacity, with strong exposure to data integration
• Strong hands-on experience with Java 17, Spring Boot, JOOQ, applied in data-centric contexts
• Solid background in SQL-based data transformations
• Experience with cloud data warehousing (GCP preferred)
• Familiarity with data standardization, file processing, and enterprise data environments
• Comfortable working with new tools and technologies
• Strong English communication skills and comfort working directly with clients

Why work here...:
• We are professionals you can Trust. Our people have extensive experience to get the job done
• We share unbiased opinions and are comfortable with the hard truths. You are the subject matter experts for our customers.
• We are the Missing Link. You will connect our customers to Google and move quickly when others can’t
• We remove uncertainty and risk by clearly outlining the process of cloud migration for our customers
• We accelerate timelines and do not dwell on a challenge. You’ll move faster and expose “unknown unknowns” for our customers
• We show empathy. Our customers believe in us because we can relate to their complexities.

How to succeed... :
• First rule at Zencore - Be Kind
• Own the process - own your customer’s success by proactive practices
• Work hard to reach the destination, but make sure to enjoy the journey
• Champion a consistent collaborative culture
• Be receptive to all types of Feedback
• Challenge the Status Quo

We are a fully remote company and offer competitive compensation and benefits.
