Data & Integration Engineer

Experience: 3-9 Years
Role: Data & Integration Engineer

Key Skills:
·        Data Engineering,

·        System Integrations,

·        Python, SQL, Informatica

Responsibilities:

We are looking for a Data & Integration Engineer who operates effectively at the intersection of system analysis, enterprise integration and data engineering to support GenAI initiatives.

The successful candidate will:

·         Understand business and functional requirements

·         Translate them into data flows and integration designs

·         Work across upstream and downstream systems

·         Ensure reliable movement, transformation and availability of data for GenAI use cases

·         Develop scripts / programs to get data from different integration systems

·         Develop APIs to integrated with relevant systems.

The focus is on getting data into the right place, in the right format, reliably.

What Matters Most

 Strong system thinking and ability to understand end to end flows

 Ability to challenge bad designs and propose better ones

 Strong stakeholder communication

 Hands on enough to troubleshoot and implement, but not a pure coder

 Experience navigating messy enterprise ecosystems

Key Responsibilities
1. System Analysis & Design

• Analyse business/technical requirements and translate them into data flows and integration designs
• Work with upstream and downstream teams to define data contracts and interfaces
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies and risks in current data movement processes
• Propose pragmatic solutions balancing speed, quality and maintainability

2. Integration & Data Movement

• Design and implement data movement across systems using:
• APIs
• SFTP and file based transfers
• Batch pipelines
• Coordinate integrations across systems in the DataLake ecosystem (Informatica, Cloudera, etc.)
• Ensure data is correctly transformed, mapped and delivered to target systems
• Troubleshoot integration issues across environments

3. Data Preparation for GenAI

• Support data ingestion and preparation for GenAI use cases:
• document ingestion
• data aggregation
• enrichment and transformation
• Work with structured and unstructured data
• Ensure data is usable for downstream AI workflows (RAG, search, investigation flows)

You are not asking them to build models, just make data usable for them.

4. Delivery & Coordination

• Work across multiple teams:
• data platforms
• application teams
• infrastructure
• security
• Support SIT, UAT and production rollouts
• Ensure integration reliability, error handling and monitoring
• Document flows, mappings and interfaces clearly

Key Requirements

Below are the key skillsets that will be required for all relevant tasks mentioned:

·         5-10 years of experience in system analysis, integration engineering, data engineering or technical delivery roles.

·         Strong ability to translate requirements into system flows, data flows, interface specifications and implementation plans.

·         Experience working with upstream and downstream teams to define and deliver enterprise integrations.

·         Practical experience with REST APIs, SFTP, batch processing, file based integration and data pipeline orchestration.

·         Good understanding of data mapping, transformation, aggregation, reconciliation and data quality controls.

·         Good SQL skills and basic to moderate Python skills for data handling, scripting, automation and troubleshooting.

·         Exposure to Java

·         Exposure to Informatica, Cloudera or similar enterprise data platforms.

·         Working knowledge of Git, branching, pull requests, code reviews and controlled release practices.

·         Familiarity with CI/CD, Jira, Confluence and enterprise deployment processes.

·         Experience with Control M or equivalent scheduling tools.

·         Familiarity with logging (OTEL) and monitoring tools such as Splunk  Elastic Stack.

·         Exposure to GenAI concepts such as document ingestion, RAG, embeddings and data preparation for AI workflows.

·         Working experience with Informatica is preferable.

Strong communication skills, with the ability to challenge weak designs and coordinate across business, application, data, infrastructure and security teams.
