Senior Data Engineer

About Solutionara

Solutionara is an AI-led IT Consulting and Technology Services organization delivering enterprise transformation through Cloud, Integration, Data Engineering, Digital Experience, AI, and Enterprise Applications.

Headquartered in the United States with a Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Noida, India, Solutionara partners with enterprise organizations across retail, manufacturing, distribution, consumer goods, and other industries to design, implement, and support scalable technology solutions.

As a rapidly growing consulting organization, we foster a culture of ownership, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, empowering our teams to contribute beyond their immediate responsibilities while delivering exceptional value to our global clients.

Every team member is expected to think like a consultant and business problem solver—understanding client objectives, challenging assumptions when appropriate, leveraging AI responsibly, and continuously identifying opportunities to improve quality, productivity, and customer outcomes.

AI is embedded into how we work, but it is an enabler—not a replacement for expertise, critical thinking, or accountability.
