This role focuses on enabling data integration and migration efforts, ensuring data from multiple source systems is consistently ingested, transformed, validated, and made analytics- and AI-ready.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain batch, incremental, and file-based data pipelines to support analytics, reporting, and operational use cases.
- Support data migration initiatives, including the movement of data from legacy systems to modern platforms, ensuring continuity, accuracy, and reconciliation.
- Work with enterprise data integration tools such as Talend, including maintaining existing Talend jobs and supporting the migration or re-implementation of Talend pipelines into other platforms where required.
- Establish and maintain a robust data engineering environment (e.g., dev/test/prod separation, access controls, naming standards, source control, deployment processes, and monitoring) that enables reliable delivery and safe change management.
- Support ingestion, storage, and management of unstructured and semi-structured datasets (e.g., documents, PDFs, text extracts, files, metadata) alongside traditional relational data.
- Support and optimize data models in Power BI dashboards and Ai-enabled analytics.
- Prepare and curate analytics- and AI-ready datasets, including clean, well-defined tables and reference data used in automation and AI-enabled solutions.
- Collaborate closely with AI & Automation Specialists to ensure data requirements for AI initiatives are well understood, properly sourced, validated, and production-ready.
- Translate business and reporting requirements into scalable data models, transformations, and pipeline designs.
- Develop and maintain trusted datasets that support dashboards, scorecards, client reporting, and downstream analytics.
- Implement data quality checks, validation logic, reconciliation processes, and monitoring to ensure data reliability and consistency.
- Troubleshoot and resolve data issues across ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers, identifying root causes and remediation actions.
- Develop and maintain clear documentation, including source-to-target mappings, data definitions, data lineage, and known limitations.
- Work in partnership with analytics, IT, data governance, and security stakeholders to ensure data solutions comply with privacy, security, and regulatory expectations.
- Contribute to the prioritization, planning, and delivery of multiple data engineering, migration, and enablement initiatives in parallel.
