About the Role
A Senior Data Migration Validation Analyst will oversee end-to-end data reconciliation and quality assurance for a complex migration pipeline moving data from a legacy Mainframe system, through a SQL staging database, and into Salesforce CRM. The role bridges legacy data structures and modern cloud architecture, ensuring 100% data integrity, zero record loss, and perfect relational mapping.
Local to Phoenix only. Hybrid schedule: once a week or as needed.
Responsibilities
- Validate data at every hop of the migration pipeline (Mainframe to SQL, and SQL to Salesforce), ensuring record counts, hash totals, and financial/statistical summaries match across all environments.
- Review Source-to-Target Mapping (STTM) documents and write complex SQL scripts to verify that data transformation logic, data types, and truncation rules are accurately implemented.
- Use SOQL, Data Loader, and Workbench to verify that relational integrity (parent-child relationships), External IDs, and object schemas are perfectly intact post-load in Salesforce.
- Identify, document, and track data anomalies (e.g., character encoding issues, orphaned records, null constraint violations) and collaborate with Informatica ETL and Salesforce developers to remediate them.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration, or related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience with SQL Server, Salesforce Service Cloud, and data conversion testing/validation.
Skills
- SQL Mastery: Advanced querying skills (complex joins, CTEs, window functions, and data profiling scripts).
- Salesforce Core: Strong understanding of Salesforce data architecture, standard/custom objects, SOQL, and data loading mechanisms.
- Legacy Data Literacy: Familiarity with parsing fixed-width flat files or validating EBCDIC-to-ASCII conversions.
- Scripting/Automation: Experience using Python (Pandas) or advanced Excel/Power Query to perform automated, row-by-row cross-system file comparisons.
- AI Experience: A plus.
