Senior Data Engineer — India
Location: India (Hybrid/Remote, overlap hours with US-based Lead Data Engineer/Strategist)
Experience: 8+ years data engineering, including schema/data-model design from the ground up
Role Summary
The Senior Data Engineer partners directly with the US-based Lead Data Engineer/Strategist to understand the client's existing systems landscape and build the account's core data schema from scratch. This is a foundational, hands-on role — before any pipeline or integration work can happen, this person has to make sense of the client's current systems (CRM, ERP, MDM, and any legacy data stores) and translate that understanding into a clean, well-documented data model that the rest of the delivery team builds on. The account's technology stack is still being finalized, so this role is technology-agnostic in tooling but not in rigor: robust data modeling fundamentals matter more than any single platform. Delivery on this account uses an agent-orchestrated development model, so hands-on experience directing AI coding agents is expected here as well.




Key Responsibilities
Work side-by-side with the US-based Lead Data Engineer/Strategist to reverse-engineer and document the client's current-state systems: source systems, data owners, existing entities, and known data-quality issues.
Design the account's core data schema from scratch — entities, relationships, keys, and normalization/denormalization decisions — based on business requirements and the current-state system understanding.
Produce explicit data model documentation (ER diagrams, data dictionaries, field-level definitions) that the Architect(s) and engineering pods can build against.
Identify and document data lineage: where each piece of data originates, how it moves between systems, and where transformation or validation needs to happen.
Surface data-quality risks and system-of-record conflicts early — e.g., the same entity represented differently across systems — and propose resolu
