About the Opportunity Daybreak AI is building next-generation supply chain intelligence for the world's most complex manufacturing and logistics operations. Our Data Engineers are the backbone of that mission — designing, building, and operating the data infrastructure that powers our AI products. As a Senior Data Engineer on our India engineering team, you will own the design and delivery of scalable, reliable data pipelines that process real-world supply chain data at scale. You will work closely with Data Science, DevOps, and Customer Success teams to deploy and evolve our core platform — and your hands-on experience with production data will directly shape product decisions. This is a high-ownership role. You will be expected to solve ambiguous problems, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the technical direction of the team.
