Algotale Senior Consultant Data Engineer Gurugram

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Consultant Data Engineer to join our engineering team and work on building large-scale, real-time data systems.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, building scalable platforms, and operating in rapid-paced product environments. The ideal candidate should be deeply hands-on, capable of driving technical decisions independently, and comfortable working across data, backend, and infrastructure layers.

This is not a traditional ETL or reporting-focused role. We are looking for strong engineering talent with deep ownership, debugging capabilities, and systems-level thinking.

What Youll Do

Design and build scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines

Work on distributed data systems across both batch and real-time processing

Take end-to-end ownership from architecture and development to deployment and optimization

Debug, optimize, and extend open-source data systems

Solve infrastructure and systems-level problems, beyond just tool usage

Collaborate across teams and drive data engineering best practices

What Were Looking For

7+ years of experience in Data Engineering or Data Platform roles

Robust understanding of distributed systems, data storage, and compute layers

Ability to design systems from first principles, not just work with existing tools

Hands-on experience with open-source or self-managed architectures

Solid programming skills in Python or Go (Golang)

Experience with system design, performance tuning, and debugging at scale

Nice to Have

Backend engineering experience (APIs, services, and system design)

Experience with infrastructure management and deployments

Exposure to high-scale or real-time systems

Key Skills

Query & OLAP: Trino, ClickHouse, Apache Pinot
