Cloud Data Engineer - 3+ Years Exp

As a key member of the enterprise data and analytics consulting team, you will help design, build, test, and deploy large scale ELT and MLOps systems for GSynergy's enterprise customers.

You will also help with eliciting and documenting data integration requirements, documenting data integration specs and helping customers ensure data-quality and completeness.

This is a full-time, remote-only position, where you will work alongside the founder and a team of highly motivated engineers distributed across India. However, it is possible that nine months to an year from now your job will convert to a hybrid model requiring four days a week at an office location in the NCR region (Gurugram, Noida, or Delhi).

You must demonstrate strong verbal, written and visual communication skills. Since this is a remote job, with your colleagues in different time zones, ability to use drawing tools to quickly and effectively present your thoughts is essential.

Since this is a remote position, proactively engaging your colleagues, proactively managing your time and timelines, and proactively managing your physical and mental health are your own responsibilities.

The customers and the leadership team of the company are in the USA. You will therefore be required to work until 8:00 PM on regular working days. Some meetings might be much later in the evening or early in the morning.

We encourage the use of AI to enhance your communication, work quality, and productivity. However, you are ultimately accountable for your deliverables and productivity.
