Designation : Data Engineer

Location : Bengaluru

About The Role

We're hiring a Data Engineer in Bangalore to build the platform-level data infrastructure that powers FirstHive's Customer Data Platform across every client integration connector frameworks, CDC ingestion pipelines, transformation services, and data quality tooling.

You'll work in Java and Spring Boot on Kafka, Kafka Connect, MongoDB, and our analytical warehouse stack (StarRocks, Snowflake, BigQuery), deployed on multi-cloud Kubernetes. The role is framework-building, not client work you design once for the next ten clients.

FirstHive ingests customer data from ERPs, CRMs, mobile apps, PoS systems, social, voice, and customer care across hundreds of enterprise deployments.

The bottleneck is not data volume it is the variety of source systems and the cost of onboarding each recent client. We need someone who builds the systems that turn client onboarding into configuration, not engineering.

What You'll Build

Organized by where it sits in the pipeline. Within each group, the most architectural work comes first.





Ingestion frameworks the first thing every new client hits :

Pluggable connector framework over Kafka and Kafka Connect for databases, APIs, file feeds, and event streams custom SMTs, DLQ patterns, reusable connector configurations.
CDC ingestion pipelines from MongoDB and relational sources via Debezium and Kafka Connect multi-database routing, schema change handling, ordering guarantees.
Automated schema mapping, detection, and inference tooling so onboarding a new client is configuration, not engineering.

Transformation And Quality What Makes The Data Trustworthy

Transformation layer as composable Spring Boot modules: cleaning, deduplication, normalization, identity resolution, enrichment. Not glue scripts.
Data quality framework profiling, validation gates, anomaly detection, lineage tracking wired into the pipeline so bad data is caught at ingestion, not at the dashboard.
