About SIG
Strata Information Group (SIG) is a US-based leader in higher-education technology consulting. We help colleges and universities modernize the systems that run their institutions — student information, HR, and finance — through ERP/SIS implementation, integration, digital transformation, CRM, and cybersecurity work.
We are building our first engineering Center of Excellence in Pune. This is a founding-team role. You will not be joining a large delivery pool with a fixed process; you will help set how this team builds.
The Role
This is a hands-on SQL and reporting role for someone who enjoys working with complex data and transforming business requirements into meaningful reports, dashboards, and data solutions.
You will work across large Oracle and PostgreSQL environments, designing data models, building reporting solutions, and supporting data warehouses that enable institutional decision-making. While the role includes client interaction, the primary focus is on data analysis, SQL development, and business intelligence.
APIs Are the Core of This Work
If there is one thing to take from this description, it is this: your primary skill is working with APIs.
Ellucian exposes a very large API surface across its student, HR, and finance platforms. A significant part of the job is knowing that catalog — reading a business requirement, working out which APIs actually serve that function, understanding what each one returns and what it does not, and then writing the code that meets the requirement. Nobody hands you a mapping from business need to endpoint. You build that understanding, and it becomes some of the most valuable knowledge you carry.
The second half is API security. These APIs move student records, employee data, and financial transactions. You need to understand authentication and authorization flows, how tokens and scopes work, and how to request only the access an integration genuinely needs. Getting this wrong is not a bug — it is a data exposure.
We are looking for depth here, not familiarity. Someone who has run a few SELECT statements will struggle. Someone who has written, tuned, and debugged complex SQL against real schemas and designed the models behind it will do well.
