Toronto, Canada Badal Full time

**About**
**Badal.io**

We are a boutique, rapidly growing, GCP (Google Cloud Platform) consulting company based out of Toronto. We work with GCP’s top customers (banking, telco, energy, retail, etc.) to help them with cloud transformation, security, analytics, ML, and data governance. Clients usually engage us to solve their most challenging business problems and help raise the bar at their organization.

**Why Badal?**

You get the best of both worlds. We operate like an early-stage startup with all the associated benefits (e.g., talent, growth, learning opportunities, flexibility), but get to solve enterprise-level technical challenges.
- People: We hire top-tier talent. Our team consists of ex-Googlers, YCombinator Alumni, and individuals that built software for 400M users.
- GCP is the Best Cloud: Maybe we are biased, but GCP is the most cutting-edge cloud provider, building on technologies that have been pioneered by Google: BigQuery, K8s/Anthos, Vertex AI, etc.
- Growth: We have doubled in size in the last 6 months, and are looking to double again this year.

**You Will**
- Develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive data governance framework that includes data policies, standards, guidelines, and procedures
- Collaborate with stakeholders to create a data governance strategy that aligns with the organization's goals and maximizes the value of data assets
- Establish data quality assessment processes, data quality metrics, and data remediation strategies to maintain high data integrity
- Collaborate with data owners and data stewards to define data ownership, responsibilities, and accountability within the organization
- Implement data access controls and permissions to safeguard sensitive data and ensure authorized access
- Assess and recommend data governance tools and technologies that support data management and enhance governance capabilities
- Conduct regular audits to evaluate the effectiveness of data governance processes and report on data governance metrics to stakeholders
- Evaluate the impact of new data initiatives, projects, or regulatory changes on the existing data governance framework and recommend adjustments as needed
- Define key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success and maturity of the data governance program
- Integrate data governance principles into new data-related projects and initiatives from the outset

**You Have**
- Experience in large-scale, secure, and high-availability solutions in Cloud environments such as Google Cloud (GCP)
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Management, or a related field. A Master's degree is a plus.
- Proven experience (10+ years) in data governance, data management, or related roles.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex data governance concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a keen eye for detail

**Type of qualities we look for (across all roles)**
- Passionate about delivering high-quality commercial software products and platforms to market
- Team player. We are a small team and enjoy working with each other and our clients - we would like to keep it the same way as we grow
- Strong understanding of modern software engineering processes
- Client-focused and passionate about delivering strong business values.
- Able to communicate clearly and effectively with various audiences, including developers, clients, customers, partners, and executives.
- Flexible and willing to use the right technology for each problem in the context of timelines and business goals
- Ability to complete the job regardless of the circumstance

**Our Benefits**
- Flexible vacation policy.
- Three weeks of vacation, plus we are closed over the winter holidays (+ ~1 week)
- One team-building event each quarter
- Great health benefits with a $1500-$3000 HSA/WSA
- Certification opportunities. We will pay for your GCP certification as well as other relevant training and certifications
- Learning opportunities. We work across different industries, technologies and roles and will work with you to help you explore your interests.
- Blogging, open source, meetups and conference opportunities. We will provide a platform and time for you to pursue your ideas
- Our organization values action over politics, and our management team is made up of engineers who thrive on achieving tangible results.
- Badal is an equal-opportunity employer committed to creating a safe, diverse and inclusive environment. We encourage qualified applicants of all backgrounds including ethnicity, religion, disability status, gender identity, sexual orientation, family status, age, nationality, and education levels to apply. If you are contacted for an interview and require accommodation during the interviewing process, please let us know._
