About the job
BigQuery is at a pivotal moment in the evolution of cloud data warehouses. The industry is 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.
We are seeking a visionary Tech Lead to 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.
