NTT DATA strives to hire exceptional, innovative and passionate individuals who want to grow with us.

We are currently seeking a Data Migration Engineer (US - Fall 2026) to join our team in Remote, Texas (US-TX), United States (US).

Job Description:

Role Overview

• The Senior Data Migration Engineer serves as a hands‑on technical contributor and delivery anchor, responsible for designing and implementing Python‑based extract/load pipelines, dbt‑based transformations, and Airflow‑based orchestration for a large‑scale migration from Informatica PowerCenter to a modern data stack.

• This role requires deep expertise in converting complex Informatica workflows into Python, dbt, and Airflow, and the ability to deliver production‑quality, functionally equivalent output at enterprise scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess complex Informatica workflows including sessions, mappings, and parameterizations and translate them into equivalent Python EL scripts and dbt transformation models.

• Develop and maintain Python EL pipelines to land high‑volume data, including billion‑row tables, into the target warehouse using SQLAlchemy, cx_Oracle, pyodbc, and bulk export tools such as Oracle Data Pump and SQL Server BCP.

• Design and develop dbt transformation models based on Informatica mapping logic, incorporating dbt best practices including model layering, macros, incremental strategies, and snapshot patterns.

• Develop dbt‑native tests as well as custom Python unit tests to validate transformation correctness and data quality.

• Develop Airflow DAGs to orchestrate Python EL and dbt scripts end‑to‑end, producing output that is functionally equivalent to the source Informatica workflows.

• Contribute to GitLab CI/CD pipeline for dbt and Airflow code, including lint gates, automated testing, and deployment to shared NAS.

• Perform peer code reviews and provide constructive technical feedback to fellow engineers.

• Troubleshoot performance issues and data discrepancies during SIT and UAT, including row‑count reconciliation between source Oracle/SQL Server systems and the target warehouse.

• Contribute to technical documentation, runbooks, and handover materials.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of Informatica PowerCenter experience - mappings, sessions, workflows, and parameterization

• 3+ years of hands‑on dbt Core experience - model layering, macros, tests, incremental materializations

• Any number of years of Airflow experience - DAG authoring, task dependencies, and incorporation with scheduling tool

• 5+ years of Python experience, including production use of parallelism and batch data processing

• 5+ years of SQL experience - complex joins, window functions, aggregations across large datasets

• Experience with Oracle Data Pump (expdp/impdp) or SQL Server BCP / BULK INSERT for high‑volume data movement

Preferred

• Experience with SQLAlchemy, cx_Oracle, or pyodbc for Python‑based database connectivity

• Experience mentoring junior and mid‑level engineers in offshore delivery models
