Job Summary

Hands-on Data Privacy / Data Catalog Engineer to support enterprise data discovery and governance with Informatica Cloud Data Governance & Catalog (CDGC) as the primary platform. The role focuses on source onboarding, scan configuration, catalog operations, and troubleshooting access/connectivity issues across AWS and multiple database technologies. The ideal candidate has strong experience setting up and operating CDGC scanners/connectors, partnering with DBAs/security teams to enable least-privilege access, and ensuring reliable metadata and classification coverage. Exposure to BigID is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• CDGC scanning & onboarding: Configure and operate CDGC metadata/data scans, schedules, scope rules, and performance-safe scan settings; onboard new sources end-to-end.
• Connection setup: Create and maintain secure connections (JDBC/ODBC/connectors), service accounts, and credential management for enterprise data platforms.
• Access troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve scan failures related to RBAC/privileges, expired credentials, TLS/certificates, drivers, firewall/ports, DNS, and network routes.
• Catalog operations: Curate catalog assets (domains, tags, ownership/stewardship), support glossary alignment, improve metadata quality, and ensure consistent taxonomy/naming standards.
• Sensitive data support: Assist with configuring and validating sensitive data identification/classification outcomes (PII/PHI/PCI) and reduce false positives/negatives in partnership with data owners.
• AWS support: Work within AWS environments to enable scanning connectivity (VPC/security groups, private endpoints/PrivateLink patterns where applicable) and support components running on EKS (logs, configs, secrets, scaling) when needed.
• Operational excellence: Provide scan coverage and health reporting, and support incident/problem management for catalog/scanning services.

Required Qualifications

• Experience in data governance/catalog operations, privacy tooling, data engineering, or production support for data platforms.

• Experience integrating and troubleshooting connections to databases/platforms including DB2, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake.
• Strong SQL skills and ability to validate schemas, permissions, and scan behavior.
• Solid understanding of authentication/authorization concepts (least privilege, service accounts), secure credential handling, and basic network troubleshooting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with BigID (discovery/classification, scan operations) in a supporting capacity.
• AWS experience, including EKS operational familiarity (Kubernetes basics, logs, secrets/config management).
• Working experience with Python scripting and regular expressions (regex) to automate onboarding/scan tasks and tune custom classification patterns.
