Overview
This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company.
We are currently looking for a Senior Data Engineer in United Arab Emirates.
This role is designed for a hands-on data engineering professional who thrives in complex, multi-system environments and goes beyond traditional reporting or query writing.
You will work on building and optimizing high-performance data solutions that power a proprietary platform in the insurance domain.
The position requires deep expertise in SQL Server along with strong versatility across scripting, APIs, automation, and modern AI-driven workflows.
You will operate across both Windows and Linux environments, helping transform fragmented systems into efficient, scalable data architectures.
This is a highly technical role where end-to-end ownership, problem-solving autonomy, and performance optimization are essential.
You will also contribute to automation initiatives that reduce manual effort and improve system intelligence.
Responsibilities
- In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and optimizing robust data systems that support complex transactional and application workflows.
- You will work across databases, APIs, and external services to deliver integrated, high-performance solutions.
- Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and optimizing SQL Server solutions with a focus on performance tuning, indexing, and scalable data modeling
- Managing relational and semi-structured data, including JSON processing using native SQL Server capabilities
- Developing automation scripts using PowerShell and other scripting tools to streamline operational workflows
- Integrating APIs and external systems to extend platform functionality and enable end-to-end data flows
- Working across interconnected systems to solve full-stack data challenges rather than isolated reporting tasks
- Implementing automation and efficiency improvements across manual and repetitive processes
- Exploring and applying LLM-based workflows to enhance productivity and structured data operations
Requirements
- This role requires strong technical depth in data engineering combined with adaptability across systems and technologies.
- You should be comfortable working independently in complex environments where problem-solving and ownership are critical.
- Key requirements include:
- Strong expertise in SQL Server, including query optimization, indexing strategies, and data modeling
- Hands-on experience working with JSON and hybrid data structures within SQL Server
- Proficiency in PowerShell or similar scripting languages for automation and system operations
- Ability to work across databases, APIs, and distributed systems in integrated environments
- Proven ability to deliver robust technical solutions under time constraints
- Experience in complex, multi-system environments rather than isolated analytics roles
- Familiarity with Python, APIs, and system integration work is highly desirable
- Exposure to LLM tools such as OpenAI or Claude is a plus
- Experience in regulated industries such as insurance or financial services is an advantage
- Background in building internal tools, automation frameworks, or cloud/hybrid systems is a plus
Benefits
- Fully remote work with flexibility to operate from anywhere
- Opportunity to work on complex, real-world insurance technology systems
- Exposure to modern technologies including APIs, automation, and AI/LLM-driven workflows
- High ownership environment with end-to-end responsibility for technical solutions
- Collaborative and fast-paced engineering culture focused on impact and efficiency
- Opportunity to work across diverse systems and build scalable data infrastructure
