Job Description: Lead Developer – ETL

Company Overview: NXTPods is a dynamic and innovative technology company specializing in Digital Engineering Services for large global clients in the USA. We pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and forward-thinking work environment where creativity and technical excellence thrive.

Position: Lead Developer - ETL

Location: Remote, India

Experience level: 7+ years

Job Type: Full Time

About the Role :

We are looking for a Lead Developer – ETL who combines strong technical expertise with the communication skills, maturity, and ownership expected from a Lead-level professional.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on ETL development, SQL, scripting, system integrations, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving. The ideal candidate should be comfortable taking ownership of complex technical issues, working independently, interacting with U.S.-based teams and customers, and driving issues through to resolution.

We are looking for someone who can understand a requirement, analyze the problem, design the right technical solution, and implement it hands-on.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and execute ETL development, implementation, and integration activities.
Design, develop, and maintain ETL processes, scripts, workflows, and system integrations.
Write and optimize complex SQL queries, stored procedures, and database scripts.
Perform technical troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and resolution of application and integration issues.
Analyze system issues and identify practical, scalable technical solutions.
Work with databases, APIs, backend systems, and enterprise applications.
Review existing processes and identify opportunities for technical improvements and optimization.
Translate business and technical requirements into clear implementation approaches.
Take ownership of complex technical issues from investigation through resolution.
Work closely with U.S.-based engineering, product, implementation, and customer teams.
Clearly communicate technical issues, solutions, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Participate in technical discussions with customers and provide clear and confident explanations.
Provide technical guidance and support to other developers when required.
Review scripts, SQL, and technical implementations for quality and performance.
Maintain clear technical documentation for solutions, processes, and troubleshooting procedures.
Manage priorities independently and ensure timely completion of assigned deliverables.

Must Have Requirements:

7+ years of strong hands-on development experience, preferably in ETL, backend development, integrations, or similar technical environments.
Strong expertise in SQL, including complex queries, joins, stored procedures, performance optimization, and troubleshooting.
Strong scripting and programming skills.
Strong experience troubleshooting technical, integration, and application issues.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Strong understanding of databases, APIs, integrations, and backend systems.
Ability to perform root-cause analysis and resolve complex technical issues independently.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to communicate effectively with U.S.-based clients, technical teams, and business stakeholders.
Strong professional maturity, ownership, and accountability.
Ability to independently manage priorities and deliver technical solutions.
Comfortable working during U.S. night-shift hours.

Good to Have:

Experience with Python or other scripting languages.
Experience with enterprise software implementations.
Experience with ETL tools and frameworks.
Experience with system integrations and APIs.
Experience working directly with U.S. customers or global implementation teams.
Experience in a Lead Developer, Technical Lead, or Senior Engineer capacity.
Experience supporting production environments.

What We Are Looking For

This is a hands-on implementation role, not simply a coordination or support position. We want someone who can understand a requirement, think through the solution, and write the code when needed.

Because this position requires U.S. night-shift hours, reliability and commitment to the work schedule are particularly important. Candidates should be comfortable with the schedule and able to consistently work during the agreed hours.

Working Hours: Comfortable working in the 5:30 PM IST – 2:30 AM IST shift.
