You will help modernize a large set of production reporting tables that power analytics, product, and BI functions. In this role, you will work alongside a Lead Data Engineer and an internal client engineer to handle the end-to-end migration of assigned legacy ETL configurations. You will move beyond maintenance to reverse-engineer legacy logic, author maintainable dbt SQL models, enforce strict testing protocols, and validate data output parity in a structured, documentation-first, PR-reviewed environment. Key Responsibilities ETL Migration & Modeling: Reverse-engineer existing Python/Spark ETL logic and author corresponding dbt SQL models, staging layers, and foundational shared macros for dimension and domain models. Quality Assurance & Testing: Write comprehensive schema.yml tests ( not_null , unique , relationships ) and lead output-parity validations to guarantee newly built models produce output consistent with legacy production pipelines before go-live. CI/CD & Delivery: Ship changes through a Git-based, PR-reviewed workflow utilizing automated CI/CD gates ( dbt compile + dbt test on every PR). Platform Collaboration: Work natively within Databricks using Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Databricks SQL Warehouses in close alignment with internal client engineers. Cross-Functional Partnership: Operate as an embedded partner within a collaborative engineering pod, ensuring seamless integration, knowledge sharing, and adherence to modern data engineering best practices. About You Competencies Ownership & Attention to Detail: Rigorous about output parity and data quality, taking full responsibility for models from legacy conversion through production release. Collaborative Mindset: Thrives in an embedded, partnership-driven engagement alongside client engineers rather than traditional handoff setups. Engineering Discipline: Strong commitment to software engineering best practices, documentation-first development, and automated testing workflows. Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Skillful at untangling fragile, hardcoded SQL/Python logic and refactoring it into modular, maintainable architectures. Qualifications & Skills dbt Core Expertise: 2+ years of hands-on production experience. Comfortable with Jinja macros, sources.yml , schema.yml tests, and incremental model patterns (dbt Certified Developer preferred). Databricks Ecosystem: Proven hands-on experience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Databricks SQL Warehouses. Exposure to Databricks Workflows for scheduled runs is a plus. Advanced SQL & Legacy Migration: Exceptional skills with CTEs, window functions, and converting custom/legacy Python-based ETL frameworks into modular, source-agnostic dbt SQL models. Git & CI/CD Workflows: Demonstrated experience working in PR-reviewed environments with automated CI/CD testing gates (e.g., GitHub Actions). Validation & Domain Experience (Nice to Have): Experience validating output parity against production data.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
