What You Will Do
- Design, develop, and maintain data ingestion, transformation, and curation pipelines using Informatica and related ETL tools, enabling consistent delivery of high-quality, analytics-ready datasets across the Data Platform.
- Extend and integrate legacy ETL pipelines into AWS and Databricks lakehouse environments, supporting batch and near real-time ingestion patterns and improving enterprise data availability and reuse.
- Build and support Java-based data services, APIs, and integration layers that enable secure, governed access to curated data for analytics, reporting, and downstream consumption.
- Contribute to intake and onboarding activities by supporting requirements analysis, source profiling, and implementation of standardized data integration patterns aligned to defined intake processes and SLAs.
- Develop production-ready data pipelines and services that meet defined technical, security, and documentation requirements, supporting controlled promotion into production through established SDLC and CI/CD processes.
- Implement data quality validation, transformation logic, and performance optimization to improve pipeline reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.
- Integrate data pipelines and services with AWS components (e.g., S3, messaging/streaming services) and Databricks environments to support secure, scalable data movement and platform interoperability.
- Support governed data engineering practices by implementing metadata capture, lineage tracking, access control patterns, and audit logging to meet compliance, traceability, and security requirements.
