Job Description
An employer in San Francisco, CA is seeking a Data Orchestration & Analytics Architecture Consultant to design and advise on a scalable data flow and reporting architecture within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role is strategy‑ and orchestration‑focused, not heavy hands‑on engineering. The consultant will define how data moves across systems, how it is stored and structured, and how it ultimately supports reporting and decision‑making. The ideal candidate can think holistically about future teams, growth, and maintainability, while translating business needs into a clear, executable technical blueprint.
