• Build and optimize robust ETL/ELT pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and loading data from diverse source systems.
• Lead and execute Oracle-to-Snowflake migration activities, including data assessment, mapping, transformation, validation, and reconciliation.
• Analyze Oracle databases, stored procedures, existing ETL workflows, and data models to determine effective migration strategies.
• Design Snowflake schemas, tables, views, data models, and other structures aligned with business and analytical requirements.
• Develop complex SQL queries and transformations while optimizing workloads through appropriate warehouse sizing, query optimization, clustering, partitioning, and resource management.
• Ensure data pipelines deliver accurate, reliable, high-quality data to downstream analytics and reporting systems.
• Perform data validation and reconciliation between Oracle and Snowflake during migration and post-migration activities.
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures, performance issues, data inconsistencies, and other operational challenges.
• Collaborate with data architects, analysts, application teams, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver effective data solutions.
• Establish and follow best practices for data security, governance, documentation, monitoring, and operational reliability.
• Contribute to the modernization of legacy data platforms and the transition toward cloud-based data engineering practices.

Requirements

• 5-8 years of professional experience in data engineering, data warehousing, or a closely related field.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Snowflake Data Warehousing and modern cloud data platforms.
• Proven experience developing and maintaining ETL/ELT processes and data pipelines.
• Demonstrated experience delivering Oracle-to-Snowflake migration projects, including assessment, transformation, validation, and reconciliation.
