Why This Hire Matters

E Commerce companies need to handle traffic spikes, optimize conversion, and manage complex logistics at scale. Data engineering is the unglamorous backbone of analytics and ML — companies that skip this hire and go straight to data science usually regret it. Chennai's talent market is more relationship-driven than Bangalore's — referrals and network-based hiring outperform cold outreach significantly a principal-level mis-hire can set an organization's technical direction back by years — the blast radius of a wrong decision at this level is enormous
