• Troubleshoot production issues, take part in on-call support, and document fixes to prevent repeat problems.
• Work with data modelers, DBAs, architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to turn requirements into maintainable solutions.
• Maintain documentation, including data flows, transformation logic, dependencies, and support guides.

• SSIS and/or SSAS experience.
• Experience with JAMS or another enterprise scheduler, such as Control-M or Autosys.
