The role focuses on operationalizing pipelines with governance and service expectations (SLAs), improving data quality and reusability, and enabling secure access to integrated data in support of business initiatives. In current initiatives, data engineering includes consolidating data from multiple sources into a central SQL-based integration point and performing field mapping and transformations, so solution teams can consume data consistently. Location This position can sit in any of our U.S. offices and offers a hybrid work schedule. Responsibilities Data Pipeline Engineering & Integration Build and operationalize data pipelines across heterogeneous environments, aligning to governance principles and service expectations (SLAs). Build and maintain ingestion, transformation, and publication of pipelines (data engineering practice) to deliver analytics-ready data. Consolidate data from multiple sources into a centralized integration point (e.g., a single SQL Server instance) and manage field mappings and transformations to support consistent downstream consumption. Data Platform & Storage Design and implement data pipelines using Azure data technologies (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Event Hubs, SSIS) to ingest, process, and deliver data from sources such as APIs and other systems. Build and maintain data warehousing capabilities (e.g., Azure Synapse Analytics) to support analytics and reporting workloads. Data Quality, Reliability & Operations Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data issues including data quality, integrity, latency, and security concerns; apply monitoring and operational best practices to keep pipelines reliable and performant. Contribute to data quality and governance practices, including profiling datasets, defining quality rules, and establishing monitoring/remediation approaches. Collaboration & Delivery (Agile Pod Model) Work cross-functionally with engineers, analysts, and stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver data solutions that support sprint-based delivery. Support pod-level delivery by producing reusable data assets and integration components that can be leveraged across multiple initiatives. Desired Skills Proficiency in SQL and Python. Data pipeline tooling and cloud data services experience (Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Event Hubs, SSIS). Data warehousing experience (Azure Synapse Analytics) and strong fundamentals in data modeling, warehousing, and governance. Scripting/automation skills (PowerShell and related tooling) for platform operations and troubleshooting. Preferred experience includes familiarity with additional programming languages such as Java, Scala, or Go; experience integrating data from multiple enterprise source systems into a central SQL-based integration layer; and familiarity with DataOps concepts and operating in cross-functional teams that include data engineering personas. The measures of success for this role include delivering data pipelines with trusted, quality data with agreed service levels, enabling faster onboarding of new data and more consistent analytics/AI consumption and creating reduced manual effort through reusable integrations and standardized transformations, improved data reliability and operational readiness. Minimum Education High School or GED Preferred Education Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. Minimum Years Of Experience 3 years of experience in data engineering and/or data platform engineering (pipelines, integration, and operational support).

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

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.
