• Support ETL, batch, event, or near-real-time data movement for migration, synchronization, reporting, and operational workflows.
• Plan and execute data migration activities, including extraction, cleansing, normalization, legacy crosswalks, reconciliation, exception reporting, and rollback support.
• Preserve authoritative-source discipline, data lineage, traceability, auditability, and consistent definitions across fiscal years and business domains.
• Build resilient integration behavior using idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, controlled replay, monitoring, and reconciliation.
• Collaborate with Pega architects and developers to keep interface complexity separated from configurable workflow design and minimize custom code.
• Support integration, migration, and data-validation testing; investigate defects and performance issues across Pega, middleware, and source systems.
• Monitor production interfaces and data flows, support onboarding of additional user organizations, and maintain operational documentation and knowledge articles.
