Job description
Senior ETL Data Engineer
Experience: 8 - 10 years | Level: Senior
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior ETL Data Engineer
to design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines that power analytics,
reporting, and machine learning initiatives across the organization. You'll own
the full lifecycle of data pipeline development — from ingestion to
transformation to delivery — while also enabling downstream BI consumption
through well-structured, reporting-ready datasets. You'll mentor junior
engineers and drive best practices in data engineering.
Key Responsibilities
● Design, develop, and maintain robust,
scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest data from diverse sources
(databases, APIs, flat files, streaming sources)
● Build and optimize data models
(star/snowflake schemas) for data warehouses and data lakes, structured for
efficient BI consumption
● Own end-to-end pipeline orchestration,
monitoring, and error handling to ensure high reliability and data quality
● Optimize SQL queries and pipeline
performance for large-scale datasets
● Partner with BI developers and business
stakeholders to design semantic layers and datasets that support Power BI
dashboards and reports
● Build and maintain Power BI data models
(star schema), DAX measures, and dataset refresh pipelines, ensuring
alignment with underlying ETL structures
● Optimize Power BI datasets and queries for performance, including incremental refresh strategies and efficient data
source connections (Import vs. DirectQuery)
● Implement data quality checks, validation
frameworks, and observability/monitoring for pipelines
● Manage and evolve CI/CD practices for data
pipeline (and where applicable, Power BI deployment pipeline) releases
● Ensure data governance, security, and
row-level security (RLS) standards are met across pipelines and Power BI
reports
● Mentor junior data engineers and contribute
to engineering best practices and documentation
● Troubleshoot and resolve production pipeline
and reporting issues, ensuring minimal downtime
Required Skills & Qualifications
● 8-10 years of hands-on experience in data
engineering with a strong focus on ETL/ELT pipeline development
● Strong proficiency in SQL and at least one
programming language (Python preferred)
● Hands-on experience with ETL/orchestration
tools such as Apache Airflow, dbt, Informatica, Talend, or SSIS
● Solid experience with cloud data platforms

● Experience working with both relational
databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and big data technologies (Spark,
Hadoop, Hive)
● Strong understanding of data warehousing
concepts, dimensional modeling, and data architecture principles
● Working knowledge of Power BI —
building data models, writing DAX, and designing dashboards/reports connected
to enterprise data pipelines
● Understanding of Power BI performance
optimization (incremental refresh, aggregations, query
folding, Import vs. DirectQuery trade-offs)
● Experience with data pipeline orchestration,
scheduling, and monitoring frameworks
● Familiarity with version control (Git) and
CI/CD pipelines for data engineering workflows
