  • Ingest structured and unstructured data from APIs, SaaS platforms, relational databases, and streaming sources.
  • Manage data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
  • Design schemas (star / snowflake) optimized for analytics.
  • Implement partitioning, clustering, and query performance tuning.
  • Implement validation checks, anomaly detection, and logging for data integrity.
  • Enforce naming conventions, lineage tracking, and documentation (dbt, Great Expectations).
  • Maintain compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or industry-specific regulations.
  • Develop and monitor streaming pipelines with Kafka, Kinesis, or Pub / Sub.
  • Ensure low-latency ingestion for time-sensitive use cases.
  • Partner with analysts and data scientists to provide curated, reliable datasets.
  • Support BI teams in building dashboards (Tableau, Looker, Power BI).
  • Document data models and pipelines for knowledge transfer.
  • Containerize data services with Docker and orchestrate in Kubernetes.
  • Automate deployments via CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
  • Manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit :

  • Passion for clean, reliable, and scalable data.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with debugging mindset.
  • Balance of software engineering rigor and data intuition.
  • Collaborative communicator who thrives in cross-functional environments.

    • Required Experience & Skills (Minimum) :

  • 3+ years in data engineering or back-end development.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills.
  • Experience with at least one major data warehouse (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery).
  • Familiarity with pipeline orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect).

    • Ideal Experience & Skills :

  • Experience with dbt for transformations and data modeling.
  • Streaming data experience (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub / Sub).
  • Cloud-native data platforms (AWS Glue, GCP Dataflow, Azure Data Factory).
  • Background in regulated industries (healthcare, finance) with strict compliance.

    • What Does a Typical Day Look Like? A Data Engineer's day revolves around keeping pipelines running, improving reliability, and enabling teams with high-quality data. You will :

  • Check pipeline health in Airflow / Prefect and resolve any failed jobs.
  • Ingest new data sources, writing connectors for APIs or SaaS platforms.
  • Optimize SQL queries and warehouse performance to reduce costs and latency.
  • Collaborate with analysts / data scientists to deliver clean datasets for dashboards and models.
  • Implement validation checks to prevent downstream reporting issues.
  • Document and monitor pipelines so they're reproducible, scalable, and audit-ready.

    • Key Metrics for Success (KPIs) :

  • Pipeline uptime ? 99%.
  • Data freshness within agreed SLAs (hourly, daily, weekly).
  • Zero critical data quality errors reaching BI / analytics.
  • Cost-optimized queries and warehouse performance.
  • Positive feedback from data consumers (analysts, scientists, leadership).

    • Interview Process :
