We're looking for a Principal Data Engineer
This role is Office Based, Pune Office
Principal Data Engineer
We’re looking for a Principal Data Engineer in Pune or Hyderabad who wants to do work that actually matters. You’ll join a growing, high-ownership team modernizing how an enterprise makes decisions — replacing legacy reports with a modern AI + analytics stack built on Snowflake, dbt, Matillion, and Salesforce Agentforce. You’ll have direct visibility with executive leadership and the autonomy to shape how data flows across the company.
This isn’t a “ticket-taker” role. We need someone who can hit the ground running — someone who’s already done this work, knows what valuable looks like, and doesn’t need a ramp-up period to start delivering. You’ll own entire data domains end-to-end — from source system ingestion through transformation to the analytics layer. You’ll be the person who understands the business well enough to ask the right questions and the data well enough to build the right answers. We want someone who brings ideas to the table,



not just executes what’s handed to them. If you’re the type who reads release notes for fun, proposes better ways to do things in standup, and takes pride in pipelines that just work — keep reading.
In this role you will…
- Design and build performant data models (facts, dimensions, data-marts) in Snowflake to support business functions across the enterprise.
- Own your domain end-to-end: understand source systems deeply, transform messy data into clean and trusted models, and make sure downstream consumers get what they need.
- Write complex SQL daily to explore data, validate assumptions, reconcile sources, and solve problems that don’t have obvious answers.
- Partner directly with business stakeholders, product managers, and analysts to turn ambiguous asks into clear requirements, defined KPIs, and prioritized roadmaps.
- Troubleshoot data and pipeline issues with urgency, trace them to root cause, and own the fix through t
