Senior Data Engineer

OverviewThis is a production engineering role.As a Senior Data Engineer at SentraAI you will build, migrate and operate data pipelines at enterprise scale involving vast numbers of source systems, hundreds of TB of data, and thousands of ETL workloads inside complex, highly governed environments.If you have not owned data systems in production, handled failures under pressure, or worked inside large complex enterprises this role is not for you.The Operating ContextSentraAI is delivering a multi-year data and AI transformation for a large complex enterprise.The programme includes:Migration from legacy Hadoop, Oracle, SAP and bespoke ETL systemsA modern cloud lakehouse architecture supporting batch and real-time workloadsEnterprise reporting, operational analytics and Customer 360-style use casesDownstream AI and advanced analytics at scaleThis is not greenfield. These systems are used, audited and relied upon.Your AccountabilityYou are accountable for data pipelines that run reliably in production.That includes:Designing and building Spark-based batch and streaming pipelinesMigrating large volumes of legacy ETL into modern architecturesImplementing and enforcing data quality validation and data contractsSupporting live systems including during incidents and critical delivery windowsCommunicating clearly with engineers, architects and client stakeholdersOwnership does not end at deployment.What You Will BuildSpark pipelines processing large-scale enterprise datasetsStreaming pipelines using Kafka and Spark Streaming or FlinkMedallion lakehouse layers Bronze Silver GoldCDC pipelines using Debezium or equivalentData quality frameworks using Great Expectations, dbt or similarYou are expected to actively use AI tools to improve development speed, testing, quality and operational resilience within defined governance standards.This Role Is Not For You IfYour experience is primarily academic, conceptual or notebook-onlyYou have not supported data systems in productionYou avoid accountability for failures or incidentsYou prefer fixed hours over delivery responsibilityYou are uncomfortable being challenged on technical decisionsWe are explicit because the work demands it.What Strong Looks LikeWithin 612 months:Pipelines you own are stable, observable and trustedLegacy ETL migrations are predictable and low-riskData quality issues reduce materiallyStakeholders trust your judgment and communicationYou raise the bar for those around youThis is how performance is measured.BenefitsWhat SentraAI Gives in ReturnWork on the region’s most complex data transformationsExposure to enterprise-scale systems and real accountabilityA team that values engineering rigor over opticsMeritocratic progression based on impact, not tenureCareer capital that carries real weight globallyFinal NoteSentraAI is not for everyone.It is for engineers who want to build systems that matter, take ownership seriously and grow through responsibility rather than protection.If that describes how you work, Lets Talk!#J-18808-Ljbffr
