About the role

Hyderabad - Product & Platform Department

Backbase

Senior Data Engineer

We opened the doors of our Business Development Centre (BDC) in the heart of Hyderabad in December 2020. Young at heart, the BDC is a wonderful space that strengthens Backbase’s presence in the APAC region. The physical presence of great talent and support also makes way for long-term relationships with customers.

Nestled in the middle of Hyderabad, the state-of-the-art building sits amidst other global brands. The location offers stunning views of hills and lakes, while nearby there is a selection of restaurants, traditional bazaars, and other cultural hotspots.

What you would do

Develop and maintain pipelines extracting data from many sources: RDBMS, Change Data Capture and streaming endpoints.

Process data ranging from observability metrics to bank accounts and transactions, in a highly secure and compliant manner.

Transform raw data into business-ready analytical models on a Data Lakehouse.

Guard data consistency, quality and end to end governance across the full lifecycle.

Unstructured data at scale. Ingest and maintain a large versioned documentation corpus: incremental sync, change tracking, deduplication and freshness. Much of it is public or semi-structured source material rather than clean tabular data.

Agent-facing data tools. Build and maintain MCP tools that let AI agents query documentation, API specs and release history. A meaningful part of this role.

Pipelines as software. GitHub Actions CI/CD, automated tests, observability and proper environment promotion across Fabric and Databricks. We automate through GitHub, and we expect the same engineering discipline from data pipelines as from application code.

What they are looking for

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.

5+ years of experience in data engineering, preferably Microsoft Fabric, Azure Databricks or Spark. Strong experience on another major cloud is fine if you are ready to convert.

Read from backbase.com, last seen 3d ago.

Expertise in Data Lakehouse concepts and Delta Lake.

Working knowledge of data regulation and compliance, and the judgement to know when to involve Legal.

Strong technical leadership. You can drive a piece of work end to end, take the calls with other value streams and stakeholders yourself, and keep it moving without a project manager.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Proactive, autonomous and self-sufficient. You work independently on your own projects and take the calls with other value streams and stakeholders yourself.

Python and SQL depth, including pipeline and query performance work.

Strong pluses

Experience with data contracts and making a platform other teams can self-serve from.

A BI layer in production, such as Power BI.

Machine learning fundamentals, enough to work with AI engineers as a peer.

Retrieval and vector search. Building or maintaining the vector and hybrid search layer that AI products query.

Preparing data for model training or fine-tuning, including anonymisation of sensitive data.

Instrumenting retrieval so its quality can be measured by someone else.

Our tech stack

Languages: Python, SQL.

Platform: Microsoft Fabric, Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, Azure Blob, Cosmos DB, Azure Key Vault.

Processing and orchestration: PySpark, Fabric pipelines and notebooks.

Ops: GitHub Actions, Fabric deployment pipelines, Power BI.

AI surface: MCP, vector and hybrid search.

The work is the standard

We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks. We raise the bar because we've seen what's possible when you don't settle.
