  • Design, build, and maintain cloud-native data pipelines using Python and Airflow where needed.
  • Analyze datasets in Oracle and SQL Server and prepare scripts for deployment to Snowflake, validating data migration between Oracle/SQL Server and Snowflake to ensure data integrity is maintained.
  • Implement strong unit testing and quality controls to support safe refactoring.
  • Contribute to validation and support, observability, and continuous platform improvement throughout the migration.
  • Promote software engineering best practices including strong documentation, code reviews, and CI/CD.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering or software engineering roles.
  • Previous experience in the investment or financial services industry preferred.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, C# for data engineering and automation
  • Solid understanding of relational databases such as Oracle and/or SQL Server
  • Experience with SSIS is a strong asset.
  • Hands-on experience with Apache Airflow or similar orchestration frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake
  • Working knowledge of AKS
  • Exposure to data replication tools such as HVR is an asset.
  • Experience working in Azure and/or AWS cloud environments.
  • Proven experience migrating and refactoring on-premises systems to cloud infrastructure (IaaS).
  • Knowledge of Order Management Systems such as Charles River Development (CRD) is a strong asset.
  • Knowledge of Accounting Books & Records systems such as Simcorp Dimension (SCD) is a strong asset.
  • Demonstrated ability to create comprehensive unit tests and maintain high code quality.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and DevOps/DataOps practices.
  • Experience with JIRA, Confluence, Git
  • Strong collaboration skills with architects, business analysts, DBAs, and QA/test peers.
  • Ability to work independently and manage priorities with minimal supervision.
