The successful candidate will design and implement the shared pipeline architecture that underpins the program's data product delivery, building the Workday and Oracle Finance connectors and owning the unified data model, lineage graph, and real time event capture infrastructure.</span></p> <p style="margin: 4.0pt 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">This is a senior, hands on engineering role requiring deep expertise in GCP pipeline services, Workday and Oracle API extraction, and data lineage architecture. The candidate will establish the GCP native pipeline pattern used by both domain connectors, pair with each domain analyst on their source specific extraction builds, and ensure the unified data model in Cloud SQL serves all three reporting lenses -- Function, Supervisory Organization, and Job Family -- from a single join layer.</span></p> <p style="margin: 4.0pt 0in;
