About the Role

You will be based in Pune, working with engineers at our Pune, US & Brazil locations.

What you'll do

- Own the architecture of the data platform end to end, and make the calls on build vs. buy, batch vs. incremental, and where each workload belongs.
- Build the quality layer that catches silent failure: contracts at every handoff, freshness and completeness monitoring, and pipelines that quarantine bad data rather than publish it.
- Improve entity matching and attribution — and make match decisions explainable to the customers who depend on them.
- Make our release cycle boring. Recurring deliveries should not depend on people watching them.
- Treat compute cost as a first-class engineering metric across Spark, orchestration, and the serving tier.

What we are looking for

- 15+ years building production grade data engineering systems, with a minimum of 5 years in a staff or principal scope.
- Deep Spark and Databricks expertise at multi-terabyte scale, including the operational side of lakehouse table formats — merges, compaction, small files, schema evolution.
- Strong SQL and dimensional modelling,



and the judgment to know when to break the rules.
- Experience with performant and scalable OLTP setups (MySQL/Postgres).
- Airflow orchestration (DAGs, operators, sensors) and integration with Spark/Databricks .
- Proven experience in AWS ecosystems (EC2, S3, EMR).
- Hands-on entity resolution, fuzzy matching, or record linkage at scale. This is central to what we do.
- Python/Scala/Java, with real software discipline: testing, CI/CD, code review, infrastructure as code is a plus.
- Experience in Docker - Kubernetes, Terraform is a plus.
- Experience in integrating AI first implementations in traditional data engineering setups will greatly help in shaping our future designs.
- Experience with machine learning pipelines (Spark MLlib, Databricks ML) for predictive analytics.
- Knowledge of data governance frameworks and compliance standards (GDPR, CCPA).
