About Solutionara

Solutionara is an AI-led IT Consulting and Technology Services organization delivering enterprise transformation through Cloud, Integration, Data Engineering, Digital Experience, AI, and Enterprise Applications.

Headquartered in the United States with a Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Noida, India, Solutionara partners with enterprise organizations across retail, manufacturing, distribution, consumer goods, and other industries to design, implement, and support scalable technology solutions.

As a rapidly growing consulting organization, we foster a culture of ownership, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, empowering our teams to contribute beyond their immediate responsibilities while delivering exceptional value to our global clients.

Every team member is expected to think like a consultant and business problem solver—understanding client objectives, challenging assumptions when appropriate, leveraging AI responsibly, and continuously identifying opportunities to improve quality, productivity, and customer outcomes.

AI is embedded into how we work, but it is an enabler—not a replacement for expertise, critical thinking, or accountability.

  • Support indexing, partitioning, storage optimization, and database performance.
  • Implement appropriate database security and access controls.
  • Support database monitoring, availability, backup/recovery, and operational requirements in collaboration with infrastructure/platform teams.
  • Troubleshoot database and pipeline performance issues.
  • Contribute to cloud data-platform configuration and optimization.

Data Quality

  • Implement automated validation and data-quality controls.
  • Develop reconciliation processes between source and target systems.
  • Identify duplicate, incomplete, inconsistent, and invalid data.
  • Implement cleansing, standardization, validation, and exception-management logic.

  • Troubleshoot complex production and integration issues.
  • Collaborate with technical leads, application teams, DevOps, QA, BI, and client teams.
  • Document technical designs, mappings, configurations, operational procedures, and engineering decisions.

Consulting & AI-Led Working

  • Understand the business purpose behind assigned engineering requirements.
  • Raise risks, assumptions, dependencies, and potential improvements proactively.
  • Communicate effectively with client and internal stakeholders.
  • Use AI-assisted tools to improve coding, testing, analysis, documentation, and troubleshooting productivity.
