- Develop and optimize ETL/ELT processes (extraction, transformation, loading) to meet business, reporting, and analytics requirements.
- Implement data quality, validation, and monitoring controls to ensure accurate, reliable, and timely data flows.
- Troubleshoot, resolve, and prevent integration incidents; continuously improve performance, scalability, and resiliency.
- Collaborate with stakeholders, vendors, and technical teams to gather requirements, design interfaces, and deliver end-to-end integrations.
- Embed data security, privacy, and governance standards into integration designs, including access controls and auditability.
- Produce and maintain clear technical documentation (data flows, mappings, runbooks) and contribute to best practices and automation.
