Product Engineer, BigQuery

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Hungary.

📋 Description

• Recognize optimization possibilities by collaborating directly with enterprise clients and analyzing their workloads.

• Rapidly prototype features — create proof-of-concept models first, refine them later.

• Conduct customer pilots: design the experiments, collect feedback, and determine whether to iterate or discontinue.

• Transition validated prototypes to General Availability (GA): implement production-grade pipelines, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Promote the adoption of released features — manage onboarding, provide technical Q&A, and troubleshoot issues.

• Investigate and address real-world data anomalies, pipeline challenges, and BigQuery cost inquiries.

• Incorporate field insights into product strategy — you’ll possess more customer context than anyone else.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of experience in software or data engineering — you have successfully delivered real features to actual users.

• Extensive expertise in BigQuery — including slots, reservations, pricing frameworks, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, and query optimization. This is a hard requirement; we will assess this skill.

• Proficient in SQL.

• Comfortable working with backend code (any programming language) — you are willing to dive in when necessary.

• Familiar with advanced coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) used in real production environments — not limited to demonstrations.

• Possess customer-facing instincts — you can engage in technical discussions with an enterprise team without needing support from an Account Executive.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity — you will often define the problem before arriving at a solution.

• Autonomy — work in a small team with no middle management; you are responsible for outcomes.

• Strongly preferred: background in GCP cost management, FinOps, or query execution planning.

• Experience in taking a feature from concept to GA, rather than merely maintaining existing features.

• Previous experience as a Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager, or Forward Deployed Engineer in the data domain.

🏝️ Benefits

• Opportunity to maintain a healthy work-life balance with financial initiatives that support both physical and mental well-being and green commuting, including assistance for remote work, commuting, and eyeglasses (depending on location).

• Continuous training and development opportunities with annual allocated learning hours during work, including language learning (English and German).

• Social activities for everyone (team building events, company breakfasts, holiday parties, professional meetups, sports events, darts tournaments).
