Monitor data loads, diagnose failures, and resolve discrepancies independently.

Strengthen data quality through validation, logging, and error handling.

Partner with BI developers, analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver trusted reporting data.

Document data flows and transformation logic; contribute to warehouse architecture, dimensional modeling, and code reviews.

What You Bring

5+ years in data engineering, ETL development, or a closely related role.

Strong hands-on SQL development and performance-tuning skills.

Experience with Oracle databases and sound ETL/ELT and data warehousing fundamentals.

Ability to troubleshoot pipeline failures and data accuracy issues with minimal direction.

Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline or equivalent professional experience.

Extra Experience We’d Love to See

WhereScape RED or TimeXtender; Microsoft Fabric, Lakehouse, or Dataverse.

D365 Finance & Operations, SSIS, Informatica, Power BI, or DBA experience.

Dimensional modeling and manufacturing, mining, or industrial data environments.
