  • Design and manage config-driven ETL / ELT pipelines, with table-level configuration files and minimal transformations.
  • Support on-demand onboarding of new tables and manage schema changes / evolution.
  • Design and support data streams for batch and near-real-time ingestion.
  • Work across teams on event-driven architectures, ensuring reliable data publishing and downstream consumption.
  • Enable CI/CD deployments for database changes, ETL jobs, dataflows, and configurations.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot ETL pipelines, data syncs, and streaming jobs; support reprocessing and recovery.
  • Prepare and maintain playbooks, runbooks, and operational documentation.
  • Lead and mentor offshore DB/ETL engineers, review designs, guide implementation, and ensure delivery quality.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

  • 5–8 years of experience in database and data engineering roles.
  • Proven expertise in data modeling, schema design, and data migrations.
  • Strong hands-on experience with MySQL and PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with Google Cloud databases: Spanner, Cloud SQL, AlloyDB.
  • Experience with ETL / ELT pipelines, data integration, and data streaming.
  • Strong understanding of schema evolution, delta processing, and data synchronization.
  • Advanced SQL skills.
  • Experience working on GCP, including services like Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for data and database deployments.
  • Ability to technically lead offshore teams and work with onshore stakeholders.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to other databases / technologies such as AS/400, MongoDB, Cassandra, and GraphQL.
