Senior Software Engineer

We're looking for a dynamic, people oriented, programming language agnostic, and highly analytical person to join our development team in our Pune office. You would be working with a team of 4-6 highly skilled engineers to scale Pattern’s Data Platform.

About Team: Our team focus is on building and maintaining an open source data platform Caterpillar, leveraging a mono-repo strategy and a modular "lego block" approach to pipeline construction.

What Would You Need?:
•
6-10 years of experience in complex data engineering roles, designing and operating reliable ingestion systems.

•
Exposure in building data ingestion and transformation pipelines using modern ETL frameworks.

•
Strong capabilities in at least one programming language used for data pipelines (e.g., Go preferred; Ruby on Rails/Python/Scala a plus).

•
Working knowledge of relational (Postgres/MySQL) and NoSQL databases. Advanced SQL query skills for performance and scale.

•
Strong experience with AWS Services: including S3, EMR/Glue, Athena, Lambda, EC2, RDS, IAM, and cost monitoring.

•
Demonstrated experience optimizing large-scale data pipelines for performance, including techniques such as parallel processing, multithreading, and/or massive parallel processing (MPP).

•
Understanding of bottlenecks in data pipelines and ability to optimize for high throughput and low latency.

•
Familiarity with DevOps and SRE principles; experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform/CloudFormation).

•
Experience writing and maintaining automated tests.

•
Clear, concise technical documentation skills and championing clean code.

What Could Set You Apart?:
•
Deep hands-on expertise in building workflows with Apache Airflow, orchestrating complex DAGs, integrations, and monitoring.

•
Extensive experience with data streaming systems like Apache Kafka for high-throughput, low-latency ingestion and event-driven architectures.

•
Solid understanding of monitoring and observability stacks, including Prometheus for metrics and Grafana for dashboarding and incident response.

•
Experience building dashboards and visualizations in Apache Superset (or similar tools).

•
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or relevant field.

•
Familiarity with Snowflake, Trino query, Spark and similar distributed query/execution services.

•
Prior experience implementing end-to-end monitoring strategies and incident response processes.

•
Strong experience working with remote/global teams.

•
Exceptional written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including presenting complex data topics to non-technical stakeholders.

•
Experience operating in a highly regulated or security-conscious environment.

•
Demonstrated thought leadership in optimizing and automating cost and resource use in cloud data solutions.

•
Good to have Hands-on experience leveraging GPU acceleration (e.g., CUDA, RAPIDS, or similar) for distributed data processing or analytics workloads.

•
Hands-on experience applying AI applications and tools in software engineering tasks such as code generation, code review, automated testing, or research ("surfing") for solutions.
