Job description

info_outline About the job As a part of BigQuery, which is at a pivotal moment in the evolution of cloud data warehouses, we are seeing a massive shift in file format momentum, with next-generation columnar formats like Vortex redefining core analytics performance, and multimodal formats like Lance pulling data gravity toward AI/ML training and vector search workloads. In this role, as a visionary Tech Lead, you will own the goal, strategy, and architectural design for BigQuery’s file format.

In this role, you will define how BigQuery adapts to these industry shifts, whether by evolving our native Capacitor format, adopting and extending open-source standards like Vortex, or bridging the gap to AI-native lakehouses. Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably.

Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
