Senior Specialist - Data Engineering

Job Overview We are hiring a Mid Level Data Engineer to design and build OLTP Online Transaction Processing systems and pipelines. This role focuses on transactional system design API driven data flows and building reliable high performance data services. The ideal candidate thinks in terms of system architecture transactional integrity and low latency data handling rather than scheduled data warehouse loads.

Key Responsibilities Design build and maintain OLTP pipelines for Realtime or near Realtime transactional data processing.

Build and consume APIs to handle data ingestion updates and retrieval from operational systems.

Design SQL Server database schemas optimized for transactional workloads normalization indexing concurrency control and locking behaviour.

Write and optimize SQL queries stored procedures and transaction logic for high throughput low latency operations.

Ensure data consistency atomicity and integrity ACID compliance across services.

Develop ETL processes as needed to support data migration system integration or occasional batch sync between transactional systems.

Handle API request response cycles validation error handling retries and rate limiting on data write operations.

Monitor system performance diagnose issues deadlocks query latency contention and tune for scale.
