What's this role about?
The role would require you to work on Next-gen data platforms, in-memory engines, distributed systems at terabyte scale, even quantum computing explorations.

What You'll Work On

• Own the data architecture: define entity models, keys, and grains; establish modeling standards and guardrails for reliable querying at scale.
• Design efficient access patterns across heterogeneous data sources: choose when to virtualize/federate vs. materialize; favor pushdown and late binding to minimize data movement.
• Establish governance & security by design: implement RBAC, row/column-level security, masking, and retention; ensure policies are consistently enforced and auditable.
• Enable lineage, quality, and trust: integrate schema/lineage capture, freshness/SLA monitoring, and reproducibility artifacts so answers can be explained and re-run
• Analyze database design and architecture requirements for the distributed applications
• Design the databases for the microservices with well defined bounded context and interaction
• Develop, construct, test and maintain existing and new data-driven architectures
• Align architecture with business requirements and provide solutions which fits best to solve the business problems
• Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources on the Cloud (AWS / GCP). Using well defined ETL tools like PySpark, Data Flow.

• Experience in designing canonical data models and high-performance SQL in modern cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks SQL, Postgres).
• Deep knowledge of dimensional modeling (facts/dims, grains), SCD1/SCD2, point-in-time joins.
• Hands-on with query federation/virtualization patterns and tradeoffs (pushdown, partial aggregation, cross-source joins, late binding).
• Experience with query engines (Trino/Presto), dbt, OpenLineage, Great Expectations/Monte Carlo, and catalogs , Collibra, Alation).
• Exposure to semantic layers (LookML/Transform/MetricFlow/AtScale) and metrics catalogs.
• Familiarity with knowledge graphs/ontology basics (classes/relationships/synonyms) for terminology alignment.
• Knowledge of database design principles, query optimization, index management, integrity checks, statistics, partitioning and isolation levels
• Good understanding of Postgresql replication, high availability and clustering across availability zones and regions
• Good understanding of Database backup and restore to align with data laws
• Participate in an agile software development life cycle including providing testing guidelines for database related changes.

What We Offer

• An opportunity to be part of some of the best enterprise SaaS products to be built out of India.
• Opportunities to quench your thirst for problem-solving, experimenting, learning, and implementing innovative solutions.
• A flat, collegial work environment, with a work hard, play hard attitude.
• A platform for rapid growth if you are willing to try new things without fear of failure.
