# Data engineer jobs in India *Figures as of 14 October 2026 · counted from employers' own job boards · https://avagama.co/openings/insights/data-engineer-jobs-in-india/* **Short answer:** 861 live data engineer roles in India, from 207 employers. 215 were posted in the last seven days. ## How much is open | Employer | Live roles | | --- | --- | | Accenture | 249 | | Amazon | 50 | | EXL | 47 | | Amgen | 28 | | Infosys | 24 | | Mastercard | 22 | | Barclays | 19 | | Capgemini | 17 | Accenture is the largest single employer in this group with 29% of the roles. 543 of the 861, or 63%, were posted in the last 30 days, so most of what you see here is current. ## What they ask for in years 640 of these postings state a number of years. The rest say nothing, and we do not guess one. | Stated minimum | Postings | | --- | --- | | 0 to 2 years | 54 | | 3 to 5 years | 326 | | 6 to 7 years | 83 | | 8 years or more | 136 | Half the postings that name a figure ask for 5 years or more. Only 8% are open to two years or fewer, which makes it a hard group to break into without prior experience. ## What they name in the advert | Named in the advert | Postings | | --- | --- | | SQL | 241 | | AWS | 197 | | ETL | 167 | | Python | 167 | | Databrick | 134 | | Azure | 122 | | Spark | 99 | | CI/CD | 92 | A term counts where the advert states it at least twice, which separates a requirement from a passing mention. One advert naming several technologies is counted under each, so these do not add up to the total. ## What this does not tell you This counts what employers published, not what they will hire. A role listed here may already be filled and not yet taken down, and roles filled through referrals or agencies never appear at all. Nor is a count a measure of how easy any of this is to get. A group with many openings can have many more applicants per opening than a group with few. ## Method Every role is read from the employer's own careers board. A role is counted while that board still lists it. Dates are the employer's own posting dates where the board publishes one, and roles with no date are excluded from the seven and thirty day counts rather than assumed recent. Roles are matched to this group by title, so a role advertised under an unusual name sits outside the count.
