Who We Are:

AssetMark is a leading wealth management platform dedicated to empowering financial advisors and the investors they serve. As we continue to expand our global capabilities, we are establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Hyderabad to enhance our operational excellence, strengthen strategic capabilities, and support our long-term growth.

We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to join the Billing team in Hyderabad. Billing is a business-critical and highly sensitive area where data accuracy, reliability, traceability, and on-time delivery are essential. You will build and operate data pipelines, curated data assets, and integrations that support time-sensitive billing processes and downstream consumers.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to join the Billing team in Hyderabad. Billing is a business-critical and highly sensitive area where data accuracy, reliability, traceability, and on-time delivery are essential. You will build and operate data pipelines, curated data assets, and integrations that support time-sensitive billing processes and downstream consumers.

You will work primarily in Microsoft Azure with Databricks, Python, PySpark, SQL, and ETL/ELT patterns, using ActiveBatch for orchestration and scheduling. The role includes integrations with internal systems and third-party providers through APIs, databases, and file-based interfaces, as well as ownership of data hub and curation processes that must be complete, accurate, and delivered within narrow processing windows.

The Billing team operates with a high quality bar and limited tolerance for delay. When production issues occur, the engineer is expected to investigate quickly, communicate clearly, implement safe corrective actions within the active processing window, and propose practical alternatives when the original approach is blocked. Strong judgment, prioritization, and time management are critical to success in this role.

Snowflake is expected to become part of the future-state ecosystem, so prior Snowflake exposure is useful but is not a requirement for the current role.

This role is based in Hyderabad and follows a hybrid work model. You will collaborate with colleagues across India and the United States, with reasonable working-hour overlap when needed for team ceremonies, planning, production support, and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

- Billing Data Engineering: Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain reliable ETL/ELT pipelines and reusable data components in Azure and Databricks using Python, PySpark, and SQL.
- Data Hub & Curation: Transform source data into trusted, billing-ready curated datasets. Maintain consistent business rules, source-to-target traceability, and accurate delivery across data hub and curation layers.
- Data Quality & Reconciliation: Implement rigorous automated validations and reconciliations for completeness, accuracy, consistency, duplicates, referential integrity, and expected volumes. Treat data quality defects as production-impacting issues and resolve them with urgency.
- Orchestration & Scheduling: Develop and support ActiveBatch schedules, dependencies, execution chains, reruns, and recovery procedures. Ensure pipelines complete within narrow billing windows and downstream delivery commitments.
- Third-Party & Internal Integrations:



Build and operate integrations with third-party providers and internal systems using APIs, databases, secure file transfers, and other appropriate interfaces. Design for retries, recoverability, idempotency, and explicit failure handling.
- Production Reliability & Incident Response: Monitor pipeline execution and data delivery; investigate failures, data anomalies, and missed dependencies immediately. Apply safe in-window fixes or workarounds when necessary, communicate impact and status, and follow through with root-cause and permanent corrective actions.
- Performance & Timeliness: Optimize jobs and workflows to meet strict processing deadlines. Identify bottlenecks early, manage competing priorities, and escalate risks before they threaten billing timelines.
- Problem Solving & Alternatives: Break down ambiguous technical and data issues methodically, validate assumptions, and propose alternative implementation paths when constraints or dependencies prevent the preferred solution.
- Business & Technical Collaboration: Partner with Billing, Operations, Product, engineering, data, and other stakeholders to clarify requirements, understand business rules, communicate tradeoffs, and translate needs into dependable technical solutions.
- Security & Sensitive Data Handling: Follow secure engineering and data-handling practices for sensitive financial and billing data, including least-privilege access, appropriate controls, auditability, and protection of confidential information.
- Engineering Practices: Use Git-based workflows, code reviews, automated testing, deployment standards, documentation, and maintainable design patterns. Build solutions that can be supported under production time pressure without sacrificing quality.
- Continuous Improvement: Improve pipeline reliability, operational runbooks, test coverage, observability, recovery procedures, and team knowledge sharing based on production learnings and recurring failure patterns.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities

- Strong hands-on experience with Databricks for production data engineering workloads.
- Strong Python and PySpark skills for data transformation, automation, validation, troubleshooting, and operational support.
- Strong SQL skills with the ability to analyze, transform, reconcile, and validate complex datasets.
- Practical experience designing, building, and supporting ETL/ELT pipelines in Microsoft Azure.
- Experience with job orchestration, scheduling, dependencies, and recovery patterns; ActiveBatch experience is preferred, or equivalent experience with enterprise batch/orchestration tools.
- Experience integrating data from third-party providers and internal systems through APIs, databases, and file-transfer patterns.
- Demonstrated ability to implement high-confidence data quality checks, source-to-target validation, reconciliation controls, and production-ready error handling.
- Strong understanding of curated data layers, data modeling, dependency management,



schema evolution, and reliable downstream delivery.
- Ability to troubleshoot production data issues quickly, isolate root causes, make sound decisions under time pressure, and implement safe corrective actions.
- Robust time management and prioritization skills, including the ability to deliver within narrow, non-negotiable processing windows and manage multiple urgent dependencies.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to provide concise status, explain technical issues to non-technical partners, and raise risks early.
- Solid problem-solving mindset with a willingness to challenge assumptions and propose practical alternative solutions when needed.
- Experience with version control, collaborative Git workflows, automated testing, and CI/CD practices.
- Understanding of secure handling of sensitive or regulated financial data, access controls, privacy, and auditability.
- Exposure to Snowflake is a plus for the team's future-state evolution, but Snowflake experience is not required for the current workplace.
- Experience in billing, payments, financial technology, wealth management, asset management, or another high-control financial domain is strongly preferred.

Qualifications & Experience

- 8-15 years of hands-on experience in data engineering, data integration, software engineering, or a closely related technical role, including production support responsibilities.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated experience supporting business-critical data pipelines with strict quality and delivery expectations.
- Experience working with sensitive or regulated financial data and following secure data-handling practices is required.
- Ability to work effectively in a hybrid, globally distributed engineering organization and collaborate across technical and business teams.
