The funny thing is that is exactly the place I want to work at. I've only found one company so far and the owner sold during the pandemic. So far my experience is that amount of companies/people that want what you describe is incredibly low. I wrote a comment on here the other day that some place I was trying to do work for was using $11k USD a month on a BigQuery DB that had 375MB of source data. My advice was basically you need to hire a data scientist that knows what they are doing. They were not interested and would rather just band-aid the situation for a "cheap" employee. Despite the fact their GCP bill could pay for a skilled employee. As I've seen it for the last year job hunting most places don't want good people. They want replaceable people.
