Role : Sr. Data Modeler / Architect
Experience Level : 8–12+ years
Location : Tampa, FL, Dallas, TX, or Basking Ridge, NJ
Role Overview
We are seeking a Data Architect with deep expertise in data modeling and architecture on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) . The role focuses on building robust, scalable, and domain-driven data models for telecom network performance management, enabling analytics, AI / ML, and automation use cases across network operations and customer experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement logical, physical, and semantic data models for telecom network performance datasets (PM counters, CDRs, alarms, logs, probe data, OSS KPIs).
- Develop time-series, geospatial, and hierarchical data models optimized for BigQuery and Dataflow pipelines.
- Standardize telecom KPIs, KQIs, and service quality metrics into reusable data schemas for assurance and optimization.
- Build and maintain enterprise data models aligned with TM Forum SID / industry standards .
- Collaborate with data engineers to translate models into efficient ingestion, transformation, and storage patterns on GCP.
- Ensure data normalization vs denormalization trade-offs , partitioning and clustering strategies , and performance tuning in BigQuery.
- Define semantic layers for BI and analytics (Looker / Looker Studio) to expose network KPIs consistently.
- Implement metadata, lineage, and cataloging using Dataplex for governed access to telecom datasets.
- Guide data scientists and AI / ML engineers in feature store design and model-ready data sets .
