Job Title: Informatica PowerCenter & IDMC (IICS) Developer – Migration Specialist
Role Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Informatica PowerCenter (PC) and Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC/IICS) Developer to support the migration of enterprise data integration solutions from Informatica PowerCenter to IDMC. The ideal candidate will have strong ETL development experience, hands-on expertise in both PowerCenter and IDMC services, and a proven track record of assessing, migrating, and optimizing ETL workloads in cloud environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze existing Informatica PowerCenter mappings, workflows, sessions, and reusable objects for migration to IDMC.
- Design, develop, test, and deploy ETL/ELT solutions using Informatica Cloud Data Integration (CDI) and other IDMC services.
Perform end-to-end migration activities from PowerCenter to IDMC, including:
- Mapping and workflow assessment
- Conversion and redevelopment of ETL logic
- Parameter and configuration migration
- Validation and reconciliation
- Performance optimization
- Review and compare DEV, QA, and PROD environments to identify configuration, parameter, and code differences.
- Validate production configurations and dependencies to ensure accurate migration.
- Migrate and optimize complex transformations, workflows, task flows, and reusable components.
- Work with source and target systems including Oracle, SQL Server and flat-file integrations.
- Troubleshoot migration issues and resolve data quality, performance, and connectivity challenges.
- Create migration documentation, technical specifications, and deployment procedures.
- Collaborate with architects, business analysts, and support teams throughout the migration lifecycle.
- Perform unit testing, system integration testing, and production validation.
Role Descriptions:
- 1. CDI-PC / PowerCenter Asset AnalysisAnalyze Informatica CDI-PC / PowerCenter workflows| mappings| sessions| mapplets| worklets| parameter files| reusable components| and dependency structures.Assess current-state conversion readiness| identify complexity drivers| and document technical assumptions| gaps| and risks.
Review runtime behaviors| parameterization patterns| file handling logic| source/target connectivity| and transformation-level dependencies.
Analyze B2B service dependencies and EDI-related integration patterns| including awareness of 835/837 file format handling where applicable.
- 2. IDMC / IICS Design and BuildDesign and create IDMC / IICS assets corresponding to legacy sessions| mappings| workflows| and runtime configurations.
Create and validate mapping tasks| taskflows| connections| schedules| parameters| and other IDMC assets required for end-to-end migration.
Ensure IDMC implementation aligns with functional intent| source-to-target rules| transformation behavior| scheduling needs| and operational controls.
Drive configuration consistency| naming standards| reusable patterns| and environment migration practices across the conversion workstream.
- 3. Complex Transformation HandlingProvide deep technical analysis for complex Informatica transformations| including Java transformations| XML transformations| expression/router/lookup/aggregator patterns| and reusable transformation logic.
Understand and explain how transformations behave in IDMC compared with CDI-PC / PowerCenter| including capability differences| conversion constraints| and required redesign patterns.Identify transformation-specific risks| build IDMC-compatible alternatives| and guide developers on remediation approaches.
- 4. Validation| Testing| and DVO UsageOwn technical validation for converted assets| including unit testing| system integration testing support| data reconciliation| defect triage| and production-readiness checks.
Create or review Oracle SQL-based validation queries and compare source/target results to confirm conversion accuracy.
Leverage familiarity with Informatica Data Validation Option (DVO) to support repeatable reconciliation and automated validation where applicable.
Review logs| runtime statistics| and failure patterns to troubleshoot issues across CDI-PC| IDMC| database| Unix| and file-handling layers.
- 5. Estimation| Planning| and Delivery Leadership
Estimate conversion and testing effort based on asset complexity| including number of transformations| workflow dependencies| parameterization| source/target count| B2B/EDI interactions| custom logic| and testing scope.
Break down technical work into actionable tasks and allocate work to team members based on skill| complexity| and delivery priorities.Track progress| identify blockers early| coordinate with functional teams| and support delivery governance through status inputs and risk communication.
Suggest process improvements| reusable accelerators|
Essential Skills:
We are looking for an IDMC Tech Lead to drive the technical analysis| design| build| validation| and testing activities for an Informatica CDI-PC to IDMC conversion initiative.
The role requires strong hands-on experience across Informatica PowerCenter| CDI-PC| IICS/IDMC| Oracle SQL| and Unix| with the ability to understand asset complexity| estimate effort| allocate work| guide team members| and improve conversion processes.
