• Build Data Pipelines: Design and implement ETL processes that move data reliably between source systems and target platforms, with validation, monitoring, and error handling built in from the start.

• Proven proficiency in SQL and relational databases—particularly Microsoft SQL Server and T-SQL, with working familiarity across platforms like MySQL and PostgreSQL.
• Track record building and maintaining ETL/data pipelines: extraction from legacy source systems, data cleansing and transformation, and validated loading into target platforms.
• Scripting ability beyond SQL—PowerShell, Python, or similar—for automation, data manipulation, and replacing manual processes with repeatable, version-controlled workflows.
• Demonstrated experience using AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate technical work.

Requirements

• 4-6 years of related professional experience.
• A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems or a related field, or any combination of education, professional, volunteer and lived experience that provides the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the classification duties and responsibilities.
