An IT services company in Saravanampatti, Coimbatore, is hiring a Senior ETL Developer for a full-time, on-site role, paying up to 126,000 INR a month. The team is rebuilding several of its core reporting pipelines this year and needs someone who's already spent real time inside large, messy datasets rather than someone learning ETL concepts on the job.
The current pipelines were built quickly a few years back to support a handful of internal reports, and they've since been stretched to cover far more than they were designed for. Query times have crept up, a couple of workflows depend on a person manually re-running a job when something fails overnight, and business stakeholders have started asking for dashboards the existing architecture wasn't built to support. Fixing that, not just maintaining it as-is, is the actual mandate behind this hire. Whoever takes this on will have a fair amount of say in how the next version of the pipeline gets structured.
- Build and transform raw data from multiple source systems into structured, reportable formats
- Design dashboards for business stakeholders who need answers, not raw tables
- Maintain and troubleshoot existing reporting workflows so they keep running as source systems change
- Optimize slow-running queries, so reports load in seconds instead of minutes
- Partner with business teams to understand what a report actually needs to show before building it
None of this happens in isolation. A pipeline that breaks at 2 a.m. because an upstream table changed its schema is your problem until it's fixed, and a dashboard that takes ninety seconds to refresh will get complaints from the sales team no matter how clean the underlying logic is. Getting ahead of both problems, rather than reacting after a stakeholder complains, is a big part of what separates a senior developer from someone earlier in their career.
What you'll need
The baseline education ask is a bachelor's degree, typically in a computing-adjacent discipline, though the hiring team weighs it far less heavily than what you've actually built. What matters more day-to-day is 66 months of experience working hands-on with production-scale datasets, and a demonstrated track record of writing SQL that other people can actually read six months later.
You should be comfortable being handed a business question with almost no technical specification and figuring out where the data lives, how clean it is, and what it will take to turn it into something useful. Candidates coming from a pure reporting background sometimes struggle here because upstream data work is as much of the job as the dashboard at the end. If your last few roles had a data engineer doing all the pipeline work for you, this position will feel like a bigger jump than the title suggests.
Skills
Required: strong SQL, hands-on experience with an ETL tool such as Informatica or Talend, working knowledge of data warehousing concepts, and enough scripting ability to automate the parts of the job that shouldn't be done by hand every week.
It's a bonus, not a requirement, if you've already worked inside a cloud warehouse platform such as Snowflake or Redshift. The same goes for job scheduling and orchestration systems like Airflow, or for having sat on the reporting side of a BI tool such as Power BI or Tableau once a pipeline handed it clean data. None of that is a dealbreaker on its own; a good developer generally picks it up within the first couple of months on the job.
Pay and benefits
- Health insurance for employees, extended to dependents in most plan tiers
- Paid time off in line with standard full-time entitlements
- Performance-linked annual bonus
- Relocation assistance and short-term accommodation support for candidates moving to Coimbatore
The salary tops out at 126,000 INR per month, well above the median ETL developer salary in Coimbatore for this experience band. The relocation support matters in practice: Naukri Mitra has seen enough candidates in this category turn down otherwise strong offers over housing logistics that this kind of employer support tends to be the deciding factor.
What the work actually looks like
Expect a mix of building and maintaining. Roughly half of any given month goes toward new pipeline work tied to whatever the business is prioritizing that quarter, and the other half goes toward keeping the existing reporting layer stable. Source systems sometimes change without much warning, and when they do, the fix usually needs to land the same day rather than in the same sprint. The team is small enough that a senior developer ends up mentoring at least one junior engineer informally, even without a formal management title.
The office is in Saravanampatti, which has become one of Coimbatore's more active tech corridors over the past several years, with a reasonable concentration of other IT employers nearby if you're weighing options in the area. This is genuinely one of the stronger ETL developer jobs in Coimbatore for a senior-level candidate who wants to stay hands-on rather than move fully into management.
The role also includes a fair amount of direct exposure to leadership. Reporting requirements often come down from department heads who want the underlying logic explained in plain terms before they'll trust a number on a dashboard, so being able to translate a query into a two-sentence business explanation is as important as writing the query itself.
Applying
Send a resume along with two or three examples of pipelines or reports you've built, described briefly: what the source data looked like, what the output needed to do, and roughly how large the dataset was. Candidates who pass the initial screen will be asked to walk through a SQL exercise based on a realistic, messy dataset rather than a textbook problem. Interviews are scheduled within a week of application review, and an offer typically follows within two weeks of the final round for strong fits. Anyone relocating from outside Coimbatore should mention it upfront in the application, since it changes the onboarding timeline slightly and lets the team loop in relocation support earlier.
