Job Description

We are seeking a senior, part-time Data Generalist to support analytics, data engineering, and MarTech initiatives over a 4-month contract (March–June).

Develop and optimize BigQuery datasets using partitioning, clustering, and query optimization.
Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, SQL, and tools such as Fivetran and dbt.
Develop and support custom APIs using Cloud Functions or Cloud Run.
Implement event-driven architectures using Pub/Sub and workflow orchestration via Cloud Composer (Airflow) or Cloud Workflows.
Apply IAM and security best practices, including handling PHI/PII in HIPAA-compliant environments.
Support marketing data use cases including attribution, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and API-based integrations.
Partner closely with the Martech Architect to translate business and marketing requirements into scalable technical solutions.
Communicate clearly with internal teams and clients, explaining technical concepts and tradeoffs.
