  • Building and maintaining efficient ETL / ELT pipelines using tools like Apache Airflow and PySpark.
  • Developing robust database schemas, dimensional models (Kimball / Inmon), and supporting data normalisation for both relational and NoSQL databases.
  • Contributing to the development and maintenance of our data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses.
  • Working with diverse database systems, including Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, Google BigQuery, MongoDB, and Google Firestore.
  • Handling structured, semi‑structured, and big data file formats such as Avro, CSV, Parquet, ORC, and Delta.
  • Developing and maintaining APIs for seamless data integration and workflows, with a solid understanding of REST and microservices architectures.
  • Overseeing codebase maintenance and optimisation, leveraging Git for version control.
  • Implementing thorough integration testing and ensuring high‑quality deliverables for all new data processing scenarios.
  • Providing technical design and coding assistance to team members, ensuring successful project milestones.
  • Assessing and integrating new data sources to meet evolving business needs.

What We’re Looking For :

  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL (PostgreSQL or SQL Server preferred).
  • Hands‑on experience with Apache Airflow and PySpark.
  • Familiarity with Databricks is essential.
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms such as Azure, GCP, or AWS.
  • Experience with data warehousing concepts, dimensional modelling, and database normalisation.
  • Understanding of big data file formats like Avro, Parquet, ORC, and Delta.
  • Proficiency in working with APIs, REST, and microservices architectures.
  • Education & Experience :

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in data engineering, cloud computing, and technology implementation.
  • Experience managing multi‑shore projects and working within cloud ecosystems (SaaS / PaaS).
  • Proven experience leading technical teams and mentoring team members.
  • What you will get out :

  • You’ll get to develop your skill set.
  • A competitive, industry benchmark compensation.
  • Flexible working hours and a remote office setting.
  • You’ll be part of a rapidly growing business.
  • Work with the absolute masters in the industry and catch some of their energy, vibe, and passion for what we do.
  • Great coffee every day, and samoosa Fridays (in‑office of course).
  • Plenty of company‑sponsored learning; certifications and incentives.
  • Work Hard. Play Hard. Work‑Life Balance.
  • No working on your birthday (free day off).
