Job description

  • Profile source platforms and document data inventories, ownership, lineage, quality risks, retention constraints and extraction approaches.

  • Design source-to-target mappings and transformation rules for customer, account, contract, product, tariff, premise or supply point, meter, read or usage, bill, payment, balance, debt, interaction and reference data.

  • Build parameterised ETL/ELT pipelines for extraction, cleansing, standardisation, transformation, validation, loading and replay.

  • Implement data-quality controls for completeness, validity, uniqueness, referential integrity, effective dating, sequencing and cross-domain consistency.

  • Create reconciliation frameworks using record counts, control totals, financial balances, sampled journeys and exception reports across source, staging, target and downstream systems.

  • Partner with Business Analysts and utility SMEs to define remediation rules, ownership and acceptable tolerances for legacy-data issues.

  • Support iterative migration rehearsals, defect analysis, reprocessing, performance tuning and evidence-based readiness decisions.

  • Engineer cutover loads, delta or change-data capture approaches, freeze-window controls, rollback support and restartable processing.

  • Protect personally identifiable and financial data through least-privilege access, encryption, masking, secure transfer, audit logging and controlled retention.

  • Expose actionable pipeline metrics, logs, s and exception queues so failures can be diagnosed and recovered within the cutover window.

  • Support operational and analytical integrations to data platforms, reporting services and downstream consumers without compromising the system-of-record controls.

  • Document mappings, code, runbooks, reconciliation evidence, known exceptions and support procedures; transition ownership to production teams.

  • Hands-on experience with ETL/ELT patterns, staging models, restartability, error handling, auditability and controlled reprocessing.

  • Experience defining and automating data-quality checks, reconciliation controls and migration evidence.

  • Working knowledge of cloud data services and object storage, preferably in AWS.

  • Experience with Git, CI/CD, environment promotion and automated testing for data pipelines.

  • Understanding of privacy, security, retention and access-control requirements for customer and financial data.
