About The Position

At Data Intellect, we focus on using data and technology as tools to solve complex challenges through human intellect and collaboration. We are problem solvers who are humble, possess a can-do attitude, and prioritize togetherness. We are looking for individuals who are not big on egos but are also not faint-hearted.

This role involves implementing, configuring, and evolving SaaS data products within client environments. You will own the technical delivery of these implementations, ensuring robust integration into client data platforms, workflows, and operating models. You will work on long-running client engagements, developing a deep understanding of client needs and acting as a trusted technical partner. The role requires designing and implementing integration patterns, data pipelines, and solution architectures for scalability. You will deliver high-quality, production-ready solutions, balancing product constraints with client-specific requirements and best practice engineering standards. Collaboration with product, engineering, and client stakeholders is key to influencing roadmaps and enhancements. You will also provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior team members, contribute to the learning and development ecosystem, and identify improvements to product usage and architecture based on client exposure. The solutions produced should be clean, maintainable, and well-documented, aligned with product standards and client specifications. Continuous learning and capability building through hands-on delivery, certification, and exposure to diverse clients and industries is encouraged.
