Job Description
XML & Data Interchange Engineering is looking for an experienced Manager - Middleware Configuration Data Engineer (Ops) to take ownership of the Middleware Configuration - Operations & Execution charter at a senior level. This is a role for someone who has already operated at scale and is comfortable setting direction rather than simply following one.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 12 years of progressively senior experience, holding MCA, with a demonstrated track record across Data Validation & QA, Middleware Configuration, API Integration, SQL, Operations. Beyond individual capability, this role expects the person to mentor junior team members and represent the function in cross-departmental discussions.
Reporting relationships will be defined based on the final scope agreed at offer stage, and the role is based out of Kolkata on a leadership - full-time arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 34.8-88.3 LPA, reflecting the seniority and scope of the position.
Success in this role will be measured less by task completion and more by the quality of judgement applied to ambiguous, high-stakes situations within middleware configuration - operations & execution.
Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
