As a Datastage Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and managing ETL processes using IBM DataStage. The role involves working with large datasets, transforming them according to business needs, and ensuring seamless integration and loading of data into enterprise systems. You will work closely with teams to build and optimize data pipelines, ensuring high quality, reliability, and efficiency in data operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy DataStage jobs to handle complex data extraction, transformation, and loading tasks. You will create jobs that meet business requirements while optimizing for performance, data integrity, and accuracy.
• Write complex SQL queries to interact with relational databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, DB2) and NoSQL databases. You will ensure proper data transformation and loading strategies are in place for smooth data integration.
• Develop and maintain UNIX shell scripts to automate data workflows, schedule jobs, and manage logs. Your scripting will ensure jobs are automated, reducing manual intervention and increasing efficiency.
• Integrate data from multiple sources, such as legacy systems, cloud platforms, and data warehouses, ensuring seamless integration and high data quality standards.
• Troubleshoot and optimize DataStage jobs to improve performance. This includes identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, ensuring fast execution times, and improving job efficiency for large-scale data processing.
• Collaborate with business analysts, data engineers, and other technical teams to define data requirements and ensure the designed solutions meet business needs. You will work cross-functionally to ensure the data flows meet the standards of business reporting, analysis, and decision-making.
• Perform unit testing and validate the functionality of ETL jobs, ensuring that data transformations are correct and meet quality standards. You will be responsible for documenting test results and debugging any issues that arise.
• Document technical specifications, job design details, and processes. You will also actively look for opportunities to enhance the ETL pipeline, improving data processing efficiency and reducing overhead costs.
• Work with cross-functional teams spread across multiple locations, ensuring seamless communication and coordination between the teams involved in the data integration projects.
